Host Danyeli Rodriguez Del Orbe and Nopal co-founders/directors, Drs. Ricky Gutierrez-Maldonado and Nancy Huante-Tzintzun introduce Telling is Political, a story-telling podcast of Nopal Stockton that aims to dismantle mainstream narratives about Chicanx/Latinx communities by centering the multigenerational and multilayered conversations about identity, race, queerness, migration, and more. Ricky and Nancy share their story about starting Nopal and what led them to create Telling is Political, a project that gets its name from the introductory chapter of Dr. Maylei Blackwell’s book, Chicana Power. They also share some exciting news about Nopal’s work in opening up a coffee shop!
