Ni De Aqui Podcast Ni De Aqui Podcast

Welcome back! Wiso Vazquez and Janelly Farias return, follow up their mental health episode by branching out to physical health - discussing what health diseases impact the Latinx community, analyze what statistics say about how the community consumes food and what we can do improve on the negative habits we’ve developed.

The holiday season is upon us! And for the Latinx community, that can mean fun, festivities but also a willful neglect towards speaking about our mental health. To answer that is, hosts Wiso Vazquez and Janelly Farias are joined by licensed Mental Health Professionals Jessica Ruelas & Bernardo Peralta to discuss the dynamics involved within the Latinx/Hispanic Community and how we can help each generation feel more comfortable talking about it.

This week, we give our special guests a break to focus on one of our own with a very special episode. Co-host, superstar, and friend Janelly Farias tells her story about living at the intersection of identity and culture and how the latinx experience is a bit more than "the things we like" and more about the things we need to learn. Join Janelly and Wiso as they discuss the taboos of the Latinx and Hispanic experience and why Wiso might need to up his gym ethic. Have a topic suggestion or a story of your Latinx/Hispanic experience you would like to share on the podcast?

Where do pandering and authenticity meet? Janelly Farias & Wiso Vazquez speak with LA Times Writer and Author of The Latinx Files newsletter Fidel Martinez to discuss growing up in Texas, what it means to exist in the United States as brands attempt to connect with the Latinx community, and how his Latinx newsletter came to be.

Janelly Farias and Wiso Vazquez welcome Sara Toussaint, Vice President of Sports Marketing at Wells Fargo and new co-owner of the North Carolina Courage of the National Women’s Soccer League, to discuss her journey of being born in Puerto Rico, to growing up in Chicago and making her way into the Sports Industry as a Latinx Woman and the many obstacles and triumphs she faced along the way.

The first official episode of the Ni De Aqui podcast is officially here! Janelly Farias and Wiso Vazquez welcome Mexican-American educator and Harvard University PhD Candidate Michael Ángel Vázquez to provide in-depth context of how the term 'Latinx' came to be, what terms of inclusivity have emerged historically prior to the term and how it continues to evolve as time and gender dynamics change.
