Seven Nine Nine Seven Podcast

An interesting dynamic happens when you bring the American lack of racial equity into Mexican culture against black immigrants. The black immigrants come to expect the lack of racial equity through a bias built from simply existing in America. And no matter how much you try to turn that bias off, it can still show up to protect our sanity, even when there is racial equity. Should we let our guard down in this new environment? Is this vigilance still needed at the same level we needed it in America? Is it bias or a necessary protection in a racist world.

In this video, we delve into the multifaceted reasons behind Mexicans and others emigrating, going beyond the simplistic economic narrative. While economic opportunity remains a major factor, we uncover the deeper social, political, and personal motivations that drive this complex phenomenon.

While the overall economy is growing, not everyone benefits equally. Regional disparities, lack of well-paying jobs, and limited opportunities in certain sectors push many to seek better prospects abroad. Despite government efforts, crime and violence continue to plague parts of the globe everywhere prompting families to seek safety and stability elsewhere.

Strong family ties and established communities in other countries act as a powerful pull factor for many emigrants. For some, emigration is simply about pursuing dreams, exploring different cultures, and building a life on their own terms.

This is not a story of simple push and pull factors, but a nuanced exploration of the human desires, challenges, and dreams that shape the decision to leave one's homeland.

Watch as we delve into the mind of NBA superstar Kawhi Leonard of the Los Angeles Clippers as he hangs from the rim, showcasing his incredible athleticism and basketball skill. Or was he actually afraid of coming down? What actually was happening? What was going through his head during this intense moment? We don’t know, but we can come up with every opinion under the sun. Join us in this exercise of conjecture.

Welcome to our week of getting closer. We thought we’d have fun asking each other questions this week. The New York Times put out an article in 2015 that had “36 Questions That Lead to Love”. We chose 5 of those questions each and kept them secret from each other. The goal is to surprise each other and strengthen the love in our relationship.
