In this first episode live recording of Central American Voices, we talked with Saray Martínez, the creative mind behind Hood Baby. From her Honduran-American upbringing in Los Angeles to building a fashion brand worn by artists like Young Miko and Tyla, Saray shares how jerseys, joy, and community storytelling shape her work. In this episode, we explore identity, creative resistance, and the power of fashion as cultural memory.

Recorded live at Pass the Mic in collaboration with MiraLA Podcast and The Football Boutique.
