Given the times, a podcast like this is seriously important. It asks questions of people we don’t have access to and because Jose skillfully weaves in a Latinx perspective, we get a glimpse into the lives of people and communities we don’t traditionally hear. This podcast shines a light on that inner voice we all wish had an audience. Thank you for making this podcast!
