    Messy, Honest, and Still Ours....One Year Later!

    In this episode, we celebrate a full year of First-Gen Latinas.. Unscripted, one year of showing up, figuring it out as we go, and sharing our voices even when it’s messy. We reflect on the holidays, the start of a new year, and what’s ahead for the podcast as we continue to grow this space with intention. We also pause to honor a big milestone: Raquel stepping into her 50s. A moment filled with reflection, pride, and all the emotions that come with crossing into a new chapter. This conversation wasn’t all light. As first-generation Latinas, we couldn’t ignore the heaviness we’re feeling around what’s happening in our country, including the ICE raids happening in our country. That part of the conversation brought out frustration, anger, and deep concern, because these issues aren’t abstract to us. They’re very personal. And yes… we laughed. A lot. We battled tech issues (again), stumbled through the recording, and reminded ourselves that perfection was never the goal, connection is. This episode is a reminder that you can hold joy and grief, celebration and anger, laughter and truth—all at the same time. Thank you for being part of this first year with us. We’re just getting started.

Together, we reflect on the ways our parents’ dynamics shaped us as women, as daughters, and as first-gens finding our own voices. It’s raw, it’s tender, and it’s filled with the unfiltered honesty you’ve come to expect from First-Gen Latinas… Unscripted. **Please excuse our technical difficulties!

    Canciones y Recuerdos: The Soundtrack of Our Youth

    In this heartfelt episode, we dive deep into the songs that raised us—blending English and Spanish hits, novela theme songs, and the genres that gave shape to our youth. As first-gen Latinas, music was more than just entertainment—it was culture, comfort, and connection. We revisit the tracks our parents played on repeat, not fully understanding the emotion behind them until adulthood. We also reflect on the celebrity deaths that hit hardest—musicians whose art left a lasting imprint not just on the world, but in our homes. From childhood joy to grown-up grief, this episode is a mixtape of memories. 🎶 Join us as we laugh, cry, and remember how every beat, every lyric, and every loss became part of our story.

    Who Gets to Feel Safe? Not Our People: Unidos in the Face of Fear

    In this powerful episode, we open up about the ICE raids sweeping across Los Angeles and other cities—raids that don’t just target undocumented people, but anyone who looks like us. As first-gen Latinas, we carry the stories, the warnings, and the trauma passed down from our families and communities. We may not have been the ones chased, but we’ve seen the aftermath—and we’re speaking on it. We talk about what it means to live in neighborhoods where people in masks and military gear show up unannounced, where loved ones disappear without explanation, and where safety is never guaranteed. We share how our communities are preparing—not because we’re undocumented, but because we know that ICE doesn’t ask questions before profiling and taking our people. This is about fear, survival, and the strength it takes to stay informed and stay unidos. This is for our gente. This is for the ones who are still missing. 🎧 Listen, share, and let us know: What does community protection look like where you are?

Let’s talk travel, purpose, and pushing through without losing ourselves in the process.
