In todays world as we know it, most of the Mexican/American, Black, Indigenous history is no longer taught. From my perspective we must continue to water the seeds who will come in the next generation. It is our duty to continue our share of cultures and traditions. Hope y'all enjoy!

How has your racial appearance affect your everyday life? and if it does how have things changed in your favor? You see we as people of color (POC) often struggle with being accepted for who we are and are often given odd looks when stepping out in public. I remember being a youngster, walking into markets, stores, businesses and always having eyes on me and my family or friends. I remember being told by white people to not steal while I was shopping alone, I was told they could not sell to me because they think I couldn't afford the gallon of milk my mom would send me to buy. I was always looked as the "bad guy", to this day I will step into public places and those looks hit a lot too familiar lol. I let them stare all they want, I put myself out there, full of pride because I know that when someone tells me something. I know far too well how to respond. And yes its scary because you don't know what others are capable of. But I won't let their privilege or authority stop me from achieving what I want. If you see me and you feel threatened, that sounds more like a personal problem. I come from hard working immigrant parents, shit I'm undocumented myself, Qvo! thanks for running into this short episode, lets spark up some conversations??

Qvo Mi gente! Just wanted to come on here and let y'all know that the podcast is coming back slowly.

In this episode, I have the opportunity of sharing the Mic with Adilene who shares her story with us, having to deal with mental health in her family structure. We talked about the importance of mental health in our communities and in our own households. What more should we be doing in our communities to be able to openly feel comfortable and reach out for help? She goes about sharing how difficult times have showed her to appreciate the family and friends she has. She lastly, briefly reminds us to be gentle with ourselves, to take things day by day. Hope Ya'll enjoy!

Welcome back mi Gente to another podcast episode of "Down For The Brown" . Been absent lately but I am back and ready to push through. In this episode, I reflect on what has been a major motivation for me growing up as well as today. Being undocumented and afraid all the time was the norm for me and my family. living under the shadows pushed me to speak up not only for myself but for my community, and my people. Hope you enjoy this episode as there are many new things coming to the podcast soon.
