In this episode, we sit down with Elyssa Bustamante (The Funky Latina) to explore the high-stakes journey of being a Latino creator in an industry often built on exclusion. We dive into the philosophy behind the Funky Latina Music Festival, the reality of navigating today’s shifting political climate, and why existing as an authentic artist is, in itself, a radical act of resistance. It’s a deep dive into how we move past mere representation to claim true power, proving that when the room wasn’t designed for you, the only move left is to remix it entirely.
