Borderline Latina Takes Over Good vs Evil: Is there such a thing as a "good person?"

Social Critiques from a Comedy Freak Perspective. In this episode, Borderline Latina tackles the age-old question: "are humans truly good?" Using an example from a 2022 Netflix film and other classic fairy tales, she discusses how aiming for goodness can deter folks from having difficult conversations for social change. Through the journey, she gets us to wonder whether we should strive for goodness or aim to be simply human.

Talk Jersey to Me Series Ep. 1: Dear Allies, When Your Validation is not Enough

Talk Jersey to Me: a podcast where I give it to you straight, no B.S. Containing any topics that don't fit neatly into Media Critique Chic or Borderline Latina shows, because I'm messy and I like to dish about it. In this episode, I'll be talking bout allies. You know, I speak from a place of love, but I'm getting frustrated with folks not doing enough. Maybe it's because I'm getting older, but the stuff that used to satisfy me just ain't cutting it anymore. Instead of talking the talk, I want allies to walk the walk. Let's go...
