On this week's Eating While Broke, Coline had the privilege of sitting down with Congressman Tony Cardenas, a true trailblazer who's no stranger to breaking barriers.
They speak candidly about Cardenas' humble beginnings as the youngest of 11 Mexican immigrant kids, to becoming the first person of color elected to the state legislature in his district.
Cardenas pulls no punches, opening up about the challenges he's faced, the institutional biases he's had to overcome, and how those experiences only fueled his resolve.
Cardenas also drops some serious gems on the power of mentorship, the importance of representation, and why civic engagement is a non-negotiable - even when the system seems stacked against you. This man is spitting straight facts that'll make you rethink everything you thought you knew about politicians.
They rap about all this and more over a homemade PB&J. You're not gonna want to miss a single bite of this purpose-packed creation.
