EP. 205: Harnessing Fear into Power — ICE raids, generational trauma, and how we rise


Listen Later

It’s true that the current attacks on our community are dangerous and disorienting. That’s the point of them: to confuse us into giving up hope. But the Latino community has always been resilient, and we will rise above this. 

 

There are so many ways we can fight back and protect each other. In fact, there are tons of non-violent actions every single one of us can take right now if we want to. Non-violent action is one way we can pour our strength back into ourselves so that we have each other's backs. I’ve been thinking long and hard about this, and I’ve found a few ways you can get involved. 

 

In this week’s episode, we’re talking about how you can harness your fear and turn it into power. These attacks on our community will not stop us from being the greatest versions of ourselves. We will continue to grow our businesses, support our community, and thrive in every facet of our lives. We can do it, as long as we do it together.
