I had some old emotions resurface recently, not good ones. Things get a little political in the end.

Jamilka is half Ecuadorian and Dominican. She's a very different kind of Latina than me. I wanted to ask my best friend some things. I'm so thankful we have stayed friends through the years. I once walked to Arby's in footie pajamas with Jamilka, for a jamocha shake.

I got to ask my friend Rita some questions on a beautiful summer afternoon outside. She is "morena". On the exterior she is Latina, but she's not Hispanic. She was raised by white parents and loves Ozuna. I always found her so interesting and I wanted to know her perspective on things. Thank you Rita for being my first guest!
