Today’s minisode episode is with Laura Tejeda, the host of LA TACO LIVE where she explores LA Culture, news, politics, lifestyle and FOOD! Laura joins Brenda to talk about East LA, the food scene and answering listener career questions.

We want to take a moment to address the overturn of Roe versus Wade. This decision stripped away the legal right to have a safe and legal abortion. Restricting access to comprehensive reproductive care, including abortion, threatens the health and independence of all  PEOPLE. This decision could also lead to the loss of other rights. To learn more about what you can do to help, go to podvoices.help or donate to abortion providers today. 

Laura is a freelance writer for L.A. TACO and she is the founder of Instagram based page @hungryineastlos which began in 2016 in efforts to challenge gentrification in East LA and raise awareness to support family owned & people of color owned businesses.tam Laura has a Masters Degree in Higher Education and works with college students particularly in Equity & Social Justice based education.You can find her work here!
