On this replay episode, we speak with writer and director Linda Yvette Chávez. She is the writer and creator of the Netflix show and community favorite, Gentefied. She also wrote the Eva Longoria directed film Flamin' Hot that recently premiered at SXSW and is set to release on Hulu and Disney+ on June 9th.  

We have a beautiful conversation about her inspiring and powerful journey from first generation hija of Mexican immigrants to creating her own Netflix show, Gentefied, and how she’s learned to fall in love with herself along the way.
