hello

In this special rivalry-week episode, three AFAM House students:a junior, sophomore, and first-year, sit down for a lively, tangent-filled conversation about The Game returning to Yale. From campus energy and tailgate culture to niche Yale moments only insiders will catch, the trio dives into traditions, team spirit, fashion at The Bowl, and what Harvard–Yale means within the student community. It’s equal parts funny, reflective, and chaotic in the best way—just like rivalry week itself.

At the intersection of African and Latin American heritage lies Afro-Latinidad — a vibrant, complex identity that challenges monolithic understandings of race, ethnicity, and belonging. In this episode, the House’s host, Aby Haile, sits down with Myah Salazar (MY ’28) and Sebas Perez (MY ’28) to unpack what it means to be Afro-Latinx at Yale. Through their Dominican and Cuban identities, they discuss navigating spaces of identity, building community, and redefining what multiculturalism looks like within elite academic spaces.
