In this heartfelt podcast episode, I reflect on the Super Bowl halftime show and the conversations that followed — especially the discomfort some expressed when a message of love came from a brown voice and in another language. I ask the honest question: Are we rejecting the message of love because of who delivers it?
From a brief history lesson about the land we live on to my personal experiences being married to an immigrant and raising three Mexican American daughters, this episode explores what it really means to embrace unity, compassion, and belonging. Love doesn’t require translation — but sometimes it does require us to examine our hearts.
