    Fatima Goss Graves, CEO of the National Women's Law Center on Why We Need Title IX and Dignity for All Students

    On this bonus episode of Tamarindo, we feature Fatima Goss Graves, President and CEO of the National Women’s Law Center and we discuss the history of Title IX of the Civil Right Act, how this administration has stripped it and other civil rights protections, and why it matters.  The Cornell sexual assault case has renewed our focus on how Universities can do better to protect students who experience assault, and to hold those responsible accountable. Many of us observed as women bravely shared their stories with the hashtag #IamJaneDoe and how they faced backlash and additional trauma. But something else we noticed about these viral stories is how survivors referenced their schools' Title IX offices. The framing almost made it seem as if Title IX of the Civil Rights Act was somehow responsible for or connected to how universities failed them. We’ve invited Fatima Goss Graves, a nationally recognized leader in the fight for gender justice and an expert in law, policy, and culture change, to help us think through this. She is also the co-founder of the TIME’S UP Legal Defense Fund and is also President of the National Women’s Law Center Action Fund.  TAKE OUR LISTENER SURVEY BY NOV. 13 We need your feedback and especially your brief testimonials.

    True Stories from our Friends at Risk!

    This bonus episode of Tamarindo is from our time guest-hosting for Risk, a storytelling podcast about stories people never dared to share.  Javier Morillo spent his twenties shutting down white men who reduced him to a fantasy. Then country music got its hooks in him, and a conference in Austin put a real cowboy in front of him. Ximena Ospina is seven when her family leaves Colombia within a month. She starts first grade in Marina, California, able to count to ten and ask for orange juice, and little else. Then story time runs long and she really needs the bathroom. And thanks to Lisa Cantrell & Capital Storytelling, who produced the Sacramento live show where Ximena first told this one!

    Reclaiming Yourself After a Toxic Workplace with Alexis Becerra, leadership coach and trauma-trained expert

    Today on Tamarindo, we’re joined by Alexis Becerra, a Latina leadership coach, trauma-trained expert, and licensed marriage and family therapist with more than a decade of experience, for a conversation about what happens when work starts changing you. We talk about how to recognize when a workplace has crossed from stressful into toxic, why it can be so difficult to trust your own instincts while you’re in it, and how unhealthy work environments can affect your confidence, identity, and sense of self. Drawing from both her clinical background and her work coaching Latina professionals, Alexis shares practical ways to protect your peace when leaving isn’t immediately an option, how to think about boundaries when you don’t have much power in the workplace, and what it can look like to rebuild after a difficult professional experience.  Learn more about Alexis: Website: https://www.itsalexisbecerra.com/ Before the interview, Brenda and Delsy talk about the art of managing your mood — the small things that help us reset, regulate, and keep someone else’s energy from becoming our own.

    From Enforcement to Legalization: Reframing the Immigration Narrative with Andrea Flores

    In this episode of Tamarindo, we talk to immigration policy expert, former Biden administration staffer, and former Senate Chief Counsel Andrea Flores to break down why current political framing around immigration is failing and what a bold, human-centered alternative looks like.   From the economic realities of housing affordability and dairy/grocery prices to the urgent need for comprehensive legalization over punitive enforcement, Andrea reveals how immigration reform is directly tied to the everyday lives of all Americans. She shares insights from her Substack Securing America's Promise, discusses bright spots in policy like Representative Gabe Vasquez’s Care Worker Visa Act, and speaks candidly about breaking out of establishment molds to advocate for real systemic change.
