On Sobriety: Ariana has a genuine and sweet way about her. I have a lot of respect for mujeres, that are gender non-conforming in their dress and their sexuality. This woman is all heart & soul and it was my honor to interview her about some deeply personal experiences with recovery. It takes commitment and perseverance to live your truth by not conforming to gender role stereotypes, to become sober in a community deeply connected to alcohol and to maintain a positive mindset about your life.

Our guest is Patricia Zamorano and I just want to say that I had sooo much fun during this interview. I found her to be a courageous woman and I was awed by her life story that demonstrated a woman that continued to rise from adversity from growing up in boyle heights, working in construction as a woman and then becoming a lesbian playwright in her 40s. I love stories that deviate from a tragic lesbian narrative and shows how queer women survive and thrive in the face of adversity.

Today I’m talking with Cindy about her approach & mindset to Lesbian parenting. Cindy is resilient and courageous. She uses her sense of humor, growth mindset, social network & community to lovingly & realistically parent twins. This isn’t a story of a lesbian struggling to co-parent her twins on her own; Cindy is more than that. She’s a mother, a lesbian, a professional and a latina who is thriving on her own terms building a beautiful life that she is constantly recreating. www.latinalesbipodcast.c
