On this episode of Tamarindo, we speak to Carolina A. Miranda, an independent culture writer and critic based in Los Angeles covering visual culture, design, performance, books and digital life. Until early 2024, she was a columnist at the Los Angeles Times, where she produced in-depth reports on subjects such as the intersection of art and race, how communities are rethinking the nature of monuments and how architecture is shifting to accommodate a denser L.A.

And for an extra dose of inspiración, we also speak to Alisha Fernandez Miranda (no relation), the bestselling Cuban-American author, speaker, philanthropy advisor and mom. She joins us to speak about her debut novel, Someone’s Gotta Give, that tells the story of Lucia, a Latina non-profit exec and all around do-gooder who is juggling new motherhood in London.  Join us at Alisha’s author event in Los Angeles on October 6 at 6pm at Zibby’s Book in Santa Monica: https://www.alishafmiranda.com/events/la-zibbysbookshop
