This episode is for my nieces, my nephews, and anyone out there trying to build something real from scratch.
When I started Llámame Anything, it wasn’t about going viral. It was a continuation of my master’s thesis—my way of processing identity, power, culture, and technology while preparing for a PhD and surviving in Miami. I was a first-gen college student, a Posse Scholar, and a kid from a single-parent household navigating grief, trauma, and ambition all at once.
Now, this podcast is so much more. It’s my voice, my work, my rent money, my resistance. It’s how I went from theory to income, from silence to storytelling, from burnout to business.
In this episode, I share how Llámame Anything became a survival guide—for myself and for the people I love. Especially the ones who call me Tata.
In this episode, I talk about:
How my academic work turned into a creative businessWhy I created this podcast as a love letter and guideThe trauma I survived (and how I’m healing while building)The meaning of visibility, vulnerability, and voiceMy evolving mission for Llámame AnythingIf you’ve ever felt too sensitive, too smart, or too late to start… this is for you.
