We’re Baaaack: Summer Catch up & Season 2 Kickoff
We’re baaaack! In this mid-summer catch-up (recorded July 31) the Braga sisters get real about rest, community, and doing the work without burning out. We talk about summer memories, why we run the show in seasons, and how the nonstop immigration news cycle has felt heavy — especially for first-gens living it. We also share what’s in store for Season 2, unveil our new merch, and invite you to join our email newsletter so you never miss an episode.

- The Target Takeback (n.) When a brand loudly embraces diversity and inclusion, then backpedals the moment there’s political (or financial) pressure. Then roll it all back out again when it’s profitable. Think: big public campaigns for Black History Month or Pride, followed by sudden cuts to DEI initiatives.
The Target Takeback led to large scale boycotts, decreased foot traffic, and ultimately, a 19% drop in sales.
