Today on Punchline!, I will be focusing on a follow-up to #BellLetsTalkDay, which aims to raise awareness about mental health.  Many of us have experienced academic burnout, or any kind for that matter.  This episode features my personal experience with burnout, tips for burnout recovery and mental health conversation starters for you to take away.

Today on Punchline!, I'll be going over some major take-aways for the historic 2021 Inauguration of President Joe Biden and Madame Vice President Kamala Harris.  This episode is filled with highlights of important figures who attended the events from today, and an overview of some extra special moments that made this a special full circle moment for me.

And that is a wrap for 2020!  Today on Punchline!, I have put together an unscripted and reflective episode that looks at the good, the bad, and the ugly of 2020 and what takeaways we should keep for 2021.  Stay tuned for more episodes, project launches and new guests in 2021, and I hope you all have a great new year!

Today on Punchline!, I have an exciting story to share about a young woman from the Bronx in New York, and her name is Sandy.  Better known as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, she has risen to fame and works towards amplifying marginalized voices as the youngest female member of the United States Congress.  I hope that her journey will inspire you as much as it did for me, while Punchline! wraps up this special mini-series for Latinx/Hispanic Heritage Month.

Today on Punchline!, I want to introduce a new mini-series to recognize Hispanic/Latinx Heritage Month.  Celia Cruz is an iconic pillar of Cuban culture, Afro-Latinidad and the Latinx community.  Dubbed the "Queen of Salsa," Cruz's legacy will continue to span across generations and unite the world with her infectious rhythms, beautiful songs and zest for life.

Today on Punchline!, I'll be addressing the many concerns that you all may have with heading back to school or campus this season.  Along with myself, I have my wonderful new guest: Meghna Kamath, to talk about her perspective as a second-year undergraduate student from the University of Georgia.  The Covid Conversation is a platform that she started to educate young people on important public health updates related to Covid-19.  Hear us continue that conversation and stay tuned for more of season 3!
