Meet Osea, a bruja, activist powerhouse and personal friend of mine making good trouble in Nueva York. Today's episode explores the complexities of cultural identity, language, and heritage. We discuss our personal experiences with education and activism, particularly the importance of understanding and challenging historical narratives. We delve into the ongoing impact of colonialism and the representation of indigenous peoples, and discuss the oversimplified views of history and identity held by people in the broader US culture.
