On this episode of Tamarindo, we interview Linda Yvette Chavez, the co-creator and executive producer of Netflix’s hit series GENTEFIED. We have a beautiful conversation about her journey from first gen hija of Mexican immigrants to her show Gentefied and how she’s learned to fall in love with herself along the way. Season two of Gentefied is out on November 10th on Netflix. 

Before our chat with Linda, we catch up on the shows we’ve been watching including Insecure. Brenda mentions this article: https://luzcollective.com/latina-love-for-insecure/
