Amiga, Handle Your Shit

Our Otherness Is Our Strength with Andrea Navedo


Listen Later

As a Brown Latina from the Bronx, the feeling of not belonging was so dense that Andrea Navedo could almost touch it. Yet instead of letting that sense of otherness break her, she used it as fuel to chase her goals; Andrea turned not being part of the mainstream into her strength. 


In today's episode, I'm thrilled to welcome the Award-winning Actress, Director, Keynote Speaker, and Author Andrea Navedo. The star from "Jane The Virgin" joins us to talk about being a Latina in New York, overcoming and healing from abuse, and the sense of otherness many Latinos experience living in America. 


Throughout this episode, you'll hear about Andrea's first encounter with domestic violence and how those experiences would mold her idea of adult relationships. Andrea also talks about how Brooke Shields and her jeans campaign motivated her to pursue a career in Hollywood, the tools she relied on to recover from the trauma she experienced as a child, and what inspired her to write her book. 


Additionally, Andrea shares advice on how amigas can handle their shit, talks about letting the Latino mandate of working ourselves to exhaustion aside, the importance of granting ourselves permission, and much more.   


Tune in to Episode 136 of Amiga, Handle Your Shit, and discover how you can turn the otherness of being a Latina in America into your superpower.
