Christina Martinez stopped by to chat for Episode 136 and to kick off Season 4 of Serious Talk. Seriously.

Christina and I chat about how the summer is for collecting your fingernails and urine in jars; how growing up with an activist family influenced her to walk out of class as a child over Proposition 187; the social and political climate at the time this was recorded (October of 2016); how I can get my own Kramerica Industries going; making book angels (like snow angels, but with books); how and why she got involved in Voto Latina; why she co-founded No Teen Shame with other women who became pregnant as teenagers; how the education system considered her a lost cause at the age of fifteen; and why I thought Kate married Prince William.

Thank you for listening, Listeners, and thank you for sharing, Sharers, to my conversation with Christina Martinez.
