    WHEN YOUR AUDIENCE WANTS YOU TO STAY IN YOUR LANE

    What happens when your audience follows you for one thing, but you have something else to say? Danny Navarro built TravelFutbolFan to help soccer fans see the world. He also uses that platform to speak about immigration and Latino politics, even when it costs him followers. On Tell Me Más, Danny tells Victor and José what drives each part of his work. He wants to make soccer travel more accessible and see more Latinos represented in that space. His advocacy comes from a different place. At six, Danny went to Colombia with his mother after she was detained and deported, despite his own U.S. citizenship. He talks about how that experience, his years in political organizing, and the 2024 election shaped what he chose to say in public. The conversation covers how Danny found his audience, why he kept talking when some fans wanted him to stick to soccer, and what both political parties miss when they treat Latino voters as a single bloc.
