About our curator, Maribel Quezada Smith, from her website:
A few years ago, I discovered I was living my life for other people instead of myself. That's when I started down this journey of self-discovery and empowerment.

This journey confirmed a fear I had long avoided confronting, the fear that I didn't completely belong anywhere, and I had to choose a cultural "side" to succeed in life.

Since then, thanks to a decent amount of soul searching, I have realized I no longer have to choose a cultural side, I simply have to embrace my own journey as a Mexican immigrant woman living in the United States, who loves Hip Hop and Cumbia.

All of this self-discovery combined with my 15-plus years as a professional in video production and podcasting, inspired my passion for creating stories with meaning in order to satisfy our human desire for purpose and connection. (Which is how my podcast DIFERENTE was born!)

Today, I help entrepreneurs, startups and growing brands build deeper connections with their ideal customers through meaningful video and audio content.


This week's interview: Arielle Vetro.

Here's her bio: I’m a Canadian-Italian writer and podcast producer based in London, England. I'm passionate about cooking, community organizing and exploring the mystifying psychology of people who "just don't have a sweet tooth".

I moved to the U.K. in 2017 to pursue a MSc in Social Policy and Planning from the London School of Economics. After graduating, I worked in the urban design and innovation field researching the social and cultural impacts of Smart City technologies. I honed an approach to city innovation that places people - and their real needs - squarely in the centre.

Arielle recommends these shows during our interview:
Blackout
La Brega
Maintenance Phase
Edith
Point of Origin

This week's spotlight: Where the Red Cedar Grows

So, how did white people end up living in Cass Lake? And how come Ojibwe-owned land on the Leech Lake Reservation looks like a checkerboard? Today we'll look at the history of Cass Lake--damming, land grabs, and dirty deals--and explore how it came to be what it is today.
