    Cuban Stories: Episode 133 - Arroz con Mango - A Miami Tale

    Growing up in a Cuban household, we often heard the phrase “!Qué arroz con mango!” —What a mango with rice! …referring to things that are a mess, thrown together, mixed up, orsomething that doesn’t go together…but just like chefs now explore blending flavors in today’s Miami Cuban-inspired cuisine. So does Liz Sanchez. In this episode, you will hear the Miami tale of Liz Sanchez, who blends symbols, textures, and heritage into wearable art that stands confidently beside mainstream American fashion. #cubanstoriesonthegreenplantain #susanasbooks#cubanosporelmundo #TheGreenPlantainpodcast#TheCubanStoriesProjectpodcast #Cubanstories #cubanosporelmundo #cubanosesnespaña#cubanstoriesonthegreenplantainpodcast #untostonanyone   #Vivenciascubanas #cubanosenUSA #CubanStories#Abre Camino Collective#cubanfamilyroots#arrozconmango#305#cubanstoriesonthegreenplantainpodcast #ownvoice❤️
