Latinos Who Lunch

Inspired by one of our listener letters, LWL develops a discussion on colorism, its complex history in Latin America and in the United States. From the sixteenth-century onward, skin-color has been a factor that has affected the way we relate to each other. The race relations in this country have also influenced the way we interact with each other and the media we consume. What is the casta system? What is purity of blood? How are those categories reinforced today? FavyFav and Babelito get into these and other topics relating to colorism in the Latinx community and Latin America.Thank you to our listener, Pamela, for inspiring this episode! #SupportLatinxPodcasts #SupportBrownPodcasts #DavidCraven #LWLpod

If you have been waiting to hear a los chavos de Latinos Who Lunch get all vulnerable, pues ahi les va! In this week's episode, FavyFav and Babelito sit down with their dear friend Pérez from Radio Menea in her D.C. apartment and the conversation gets REAL really fast. They discuss the myth of love, the lack of dating apps for women, Tinder, the struggles of an increasingly hectic schedule and the different ways we can find balance in our busy lives. The process of healing can be a lifelong process and it's good to have friends like Pérez to help you along the way! #DoctoraCorazón #supportbrownpodcasts #supportlatinxpodcasts #lwlpod

Latinos Who Lunch visited D.C. and recorded an episode with the guys from Caught Up Podcast! This topical and conversational podcast digs into the politics and issues that affect POC communities around the United State. The Haitian Sensation and the Deep End Puerto Rican discuss micro and macro aggressions, the responsibility of owning your voice during this political climate, the hateful rhetoric that reverberates everyday from the White House, and of course, Cardi B. Before that, FavyFav and Babelito experiment with long distance recording, catch up with all their activities and talk about future events. #supportbrownpodcasts #supportlatinxpodcasts #lwlpod

Los chicos de LWL take a breather, eat neighborhood supermarket Cuban food and reflect on the nonstop activities of the past two weeks. From Reno to Baltimore FavyFav and Babelito have taken the podcast to different cities culminating in a presentation for the wonderful freshmen class of Maryland Institute College of Art. They talk about all the amazing listeners they met, the strange places they visited, and make predictions on the new season of RuPaul's All Star Season 3. And as always make sure to stay tuned for the listener's letter and recommendations episode. #SupportBrownPodcasts #SupportLatinxPodcasts #Guaraguaralacuchara

Our dear friend and colleague Ed Fuentes sits with LWL to talk about his career as an advocate for Chicanx arts. Through his blog, Paint this Desert, he has been able to highlight the artistic diversity of our communities in Las Vegas and Los Angeles. Ed also discusses the perils of being the only Chicano MFA student in a department dominated by white male artists, and the importance that public murals have in the fight for resistance against oppression and gentrification. #SupportBrownPodcasts #SupportLatinxPodcasts #LWLPod.

Also, they find a new excuse to talk about Cardi B by answering a comment from a listener. #SupportBrownPodcast #SupportLatinxPodcasts #Latinx
