    Why National Latina Day Belongs at By the Wayside Houston

    You had the idea. You know exactly what you want to build. And the gap between that idea and an actual physical space, with a lease and a staff and people walking through the door, feels impossible to close. Sam Navarre and her husband, Brayden, closed that gap. In April, they opened By the Wayside Bar and Live Music on Navigation Boulevard in Houston, a space built on one rule: come meet somebody new. Marianne Garcia, founder and executive director of Raices Unidas, sits down with Sam ahead of By the Wayside's National Latina Day event to talk about what it took to get there. You'll hear how three years of pop-ups turned into a brick and mortar, why "professional" has nothing to do with how many gigs you've played, and what it actually feels like to watch a room fill up with the community you set out to build.

    Teatro Degollado: The Latina Preserving a Golden Stage

    A 160-year-old opera house. Gold leaf on every wall. A World Cup FanFest roaring right outside the doors. Somewhere between the past and the present, one Latina keeps it all standing. Mariel Tinoco started as a violinist. Conservatory, years in orchestras, the whole path. But the real pull was never the stage itself, it was everything that makes the stage possible: the space, the conditions, the magic behind the curtain. That pull took her into cultural management, and today she's the administrator of the Teatro Degollado, one of the three most important theaters in Mexico alongside Bellas Artes and the Teatro Juárez de Guanajuato. Recorded live at the theater during World Cup Fan Fest Guadalajara, this conversation covers 160 years of history, a wartime opening, real 22-karat gold, and why Mariel calls preservation "a dance between two time periods." Amiga, this is what it looks like when una protects the story for todas who come after her. 00:00 - Inside Teatro Degollado during World Cup Fan Fest Guadalajara 01:15 - How does a violinist end up running one of Mexico's most historic theaters? 02:43 - 160 years of Teatro Degollado: the history behind Mexico's golden stage 05:02 - What are the biggest challenges of preserving a monument that's still in daily use? 07:39 - How do you connect a phone-scrolling generation to a 160-year-old theater? 13:49 - Why Teatro Degollado calls itself "el teatro del pueblo" Share Your Story Your story matters.

    How A Museum Is Turning Fútbol Into Art with Viviana Kuri Haddad

    They said it was a soccer exhibit. It isn't. Inside Guadalajara's Museo de Arte de Zapopan, cleats and paintbrushes are asking the same question: who actually gets a fair shot? Viviana Kuri Haddad runs that answer. She directs MAZ, one of Mexico's most important contemporary art museums, with two locations two blocks apart in the heart of Zapopan. This World Cup season, she's turning a soccer moment into a citywide conversation about equity, identity, and who gets remembered. In this episode, Viviana walks us through the exhibits connecting fútbol to inequality, introduces the installation built on an uneven playing field, and explains why a legendary goalkeeper ended up in paint. Listen in, and the next trip to Guadalajara looks different. Mentioned in This Episode People: Viviana Kuri Haddad — Director, Museo de Arte de Zapopan (MAZ); Claudia Macías — LLP host, also of The Claudia Macías Podcast Show (admirableradio.com); Priscila Monge — artist, Costa Rica; Mario García Torres — artist, Coahuila / Mexico City; Jorge Campos — former Mexican national team goalkeeper; Juan José Frangié — MAZ board president Organizations: Museo de Arte de Zapopan (MAZ); Estación MAZ; Latina Leadership Podcast; FIFA World Cup 2026 Events / Programs: Canchas Desiguales installation; the Jorge Campos exhibition; Zapopan World Cup Fan Fest Platforms: Instagram (@mazmuseo); Facebook

    The Latina Behind Houston's World Cup Poster

    You're good at something. Everyone tells you so. And somehow you still can't see a career in it. That was Stephanie Leal for most of her life, even after teachers kept pointing her toward art. Stephanie Leal is the artist and graphic designer behind the official Houston FIFA World Cup poster, now stamped on billboards, metro wraps, t shirts, and keychains across the city. She trained in fine arts and graphic design at the University of Houston and cut her teeth designing for the Houston Dynamo and Houston Dash. Amiga, this conversation is about what it actually takes to trust yourself enough to apply, to submit the portfolio you finished the night before the deadline, and to let your own story become the work.

    How a Latina Built the First Spanish Grip Sock Brand and Ended in Coachella

    A steady paycheck. A $125,000 salary. The kind of job your familia brags about at every carne asada. Michelle Myra had it, and she walked away to make socks. Michelle is a Pilates instructor since 2018 who taught her way across Asia before coming home to California. Today she runs two businesses: Sazón Grip, one of the first Latina-owned grip sock brands with every phrase en español, and Sazón Pilates Studio in Bellflower, open barely a month when we sat down. She built both by reading the room, testing everything herself, and refusing to launch anything she wouldn't wear. In this conversation she breaks down how she went from instructor to product owner, why she used her socks to fund immigrant families during the ICE raids, and the one piece of advice she gives every amiga with a product idea.

    Inside Unedo, the Spanish App Built Around Culture with Founder Sonia Salvador

    Your parents spoke it at home. Your abuela still calls to speak it with you. And somewhere between Duolingo streaks and half-remembered conjugation tables, the language still feels just out of reach. That gap between hearing Spanish your whole life and actually feeling fluent in it is one of the most common, least talked-about experiences in our comunidad.   Sonia Salvador spent 20 years in marketing and product design, including as US Communications Director for Ray-Ban. Native French and Spanish, with roots in the Basque Country, she's lived across Spain, France, Italy, and the US. She's the co-founder and editor-in-chief of Unedo, a daily Spanish-language magazine recently named Apple's App of the Day and one of Apple's Best New Apps of 2026.   In this conversation, Sonia breaks down why Unedo skips the grammar drills entirely and builds around culture instead, and what that means for anyone trying to reconnect with a language that was always theirs.   Chapters   00:00 — Why this Spanish app is built entirely around culture 01:52 — Sonia Salvador: "Who are you, and what do you do?" 04:07 — How do you reconnect with a language your parents never taught you? 06:39 — Is Spanish one language, or hundreds? 09:17 — What it's really like building a tech company as a woman 16:15 — Why Sonia stopped studying the competition 24:39 — Do you consider yourself a leader?   Connect with Unedo:   Instagram: instagram.com/unedo_in_spanish Threads: threads.com/@unedo_in_spanish LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/unedo-app Facebook: facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575621142169   Share Your Story   Your story matters.

    Inside Sports City USA With Kelly Walker

    You drive right past it. Every road trip, every time. A skyline going up north of Dallas, and you tell yourself you will stop next time. Sound familiar, amiga? Kelly Walker is the woman who wants you to pull in. As Communications Manager for Visit Frisco, she is the one who brings media, creators, and podcasters to town and hands them the itinerary that changes their mind. She started as a coordinator, grew into media relations, and she is the partner who brought the Latina Leadership Podcast to the Dallas Cowboys studio at The Star. She also happens to be a lifelong sports obsessive, which is a useful thing to be in a city that made sports its whole identity. In this one, Kelly maps out Sports City USA, what Frisco is building for the 2026 World Cup, and what leadership looks like when your title does not say manager. You walk away with a real plan for a getaway, not a brochure.
