This week on The Ana Cruz Show, we’re talking about the life-saving importance of blood donation—and why the Latino community plays a critical role.

Only 7–8% of Latinos in the U.S. donate blood, and that number needs to change.

Ana Cruz is joined by Marcela Fajardo, Chief Communications Officer for the American Red Cross North Texas Region, to discuss the realities behind these numbers, the blood donation process, common myths, and their personal experiences with donating.

This episode is both educational and deeply personal—and it’s a reminder that a simple act can save lives.

En este episodio de The Ana Cruz Show, Ana conversa con Génesis Veliz, campeona nacional de NCAA DII y entrenadora de alto rendimiento, para entender por qué a tantas personas les cuesta hacer ejercicio.

Hablamos sobre la ciencia detrás de nuestra resistencia al movimiento, el miedo a no ser “suficientemente buenos”, la cultura del gimnasio y las expectativas irreales que han cambiado nuestra relación con el ejercicio.

Tal vez el problema no es la flojera… sino cómo nos enseñaron a ver el ejercicio.

This week on The Ana Cruz Show, I’m joined by Dr. Mark Fincher, Associate Professor at Mississippi State University and founder of International Men's Day of Mississippi, to discuss the growing crisis facing young men.

Male college enrollment is declining, dropout rates are rising, and the impact goes far beyond education. We explore the link between academic disengagement, depression, substance abuse, suicide, and the broader masculinity crisis shaping today’s youth.

This conversation isn’t about choosing men over women — it’s about making sure we don’t leave our boys behind while continuing to fight for equality and opportunity for all.
