Latinos Who Lunch

Yosimar Reyes joins us this week and we GET INTO IT! The nationally acclaimed poet, educator, performance artist and public speaker tells FavyFav and Babelito all about his one man show, his special relationship with his grandmother and the importance of being held accountable for the quality of the content we produce as artists, writers and cultural makers. Listen as Yosimar schools us all on the importance of knowing our worth as artists and advises us to always demand equal treatment in all that we do. #supportbrownpodcasts #supportlatinxpodcasts #podsincolor

In this very first live episode of LWL, Irene Mata, Associate Professor in the department of Women's and Gender Studies at Wellesley College, joins us to talk about the problematic representation of Latinx people in popular U.S. visual culture. She describes how the myth of the American dream upholds our narratives as immigrants and border peoples and how Chicanx and Latinx cultural producers are constantly challenging those ideas. How is Moana different from the rest of Disney’s animated features? Why is Selena, the movie, so problematic? Listen to Irene explain how she is helping students not internalize oppression to become better citizens of the world. #supportbrownpodcasts #supportlatinxpodcasts #podsincolor
