Unwrapping the Gifts of Cultural Identity and Holiday Customs with Katya Quezeda Ancestors Mama

- Spirituality
Join the Ancestors Mama Podcast for a heartfelt exchange with Katya Quezada! She is a journalist whose voice has been a beacon of inspiration through her podcast "Cupola Colocha Says" Podcast. Delving into the Christmas season, we converse about the vibrant fusion of joy and cultural identity. Katya brings to the table a wealth of stories that shine a light on the trials and triumphs within communities of color. Experience the candid reflections on the holiday emotions, particularly for those distanced from family or wrestling with their cultural identity, and the societal expectations that weigh heavily on women of color.
As the aroma of holiday spices fills the air, we unravel the complexities of cultural assimilation and identity within the Latin American community. From the generational shifts to the impact of colorism, our discussion takes a deep look at how we navigate our heritage in a world that's quick to label. We celebrate the strides made towards authentic representation and the importance of standing firm in our roots, especially during the cultural milestones that define us.
Wrapping up the episode, we pay homage to the cherished traditions of Puerto Rico and El Salvador, reflecting on the need to safeguard these customs against the tide of colonization and assimilation. We share personal tales and urge listeners to pass down the torch of heritage to the younger generations. And as the New Year dawns, we advocate for a cycle of intention and hope, cherishing every moment with loved ones, and embracing the unyielding resilience of our communities. With Katya by our side, this episode is a tribute to the profound joy and connection we find in our cultural celebrations.
