This week the women of Glowing Up try to tackle the big M word, machismo. There's so much to say and so much we could have said but we limited ourselves to only an hour. We try to define machismo, talk about what we saw growing up, give our ideas on why we think machismo persists in Latinx culture, and share how we will try to prevent the cycle from persisting in our future families.
