      • Ep. 17 - Season 3 Trailer - All the Chisme

        Alright, mi gente, season 3 is taking a bit of a turn. I am currently under observation for potential cervical cancer. This season you will hear a bit more about my journey. We will focus on what wellness means to our BIPOC guests around various physical and mental health wellness forms. We want to discuss these medical and health situations that sometimes seem taboo. We don't like talking about death in nuestra comunidad, pero we also don't do enough to talk about prevention to ensure we can live those long lives. Join me as we speak with a mixture of people who share their journey of managing these medical and health situations while posting up with our cafecitos.

By taking time to reflect on her journey and prioritizing her well-being.

                      As a First-Gen student, she needed guidance and support. So, she created a space for students like herself who would have a safe community to share experiences and support one another.
