Coffee with Kenia

In honor of Mother’s Day, I sat down for a candid conversation about motherhood with my mami. This episode was recorded in Spanish.

¡Feliz día de las madres Latinas!

In the last 12 months, over 3,795 hate crimes towards the AAPI community were reported. We probably heard of a couple of them while the rest went unnoticed. We all contribute to the erasure and exclusion of our AAPI community. Kevin and I discuss the aftermath of the most recent attacks like the Atlanta Spa shootings and how we can be part of the solution.
