Ep. 53

La Profesora discusses the urgent challenges facing Latinx/e and marginalized communities today. She shines a light on pressing issues such as the ongoing crisis in Palestine, the targeting of Black leaders and communities in major cities, and the troubling dismantling of DEI initiatives and social programs in higher education.

With honesty and vulnerability, La Profesora acknowledges our reality, discusses the importance of taking action in our neighborhoods, and reminds us that even small acts of support can make meaningful change.

Amid calls for self-care and collective resilience, our gente are encouraged to find a way to contribute—whether by showing up, funding crucial organizations, or just taking time to recharge. Join us as we confront the complexities of our times, support one another, and continue uplifting Latinx voices on the journey to a more just future.

¡Adelante, mi gente!
