    Season Finale: A Love Letter to Latinidad

    Hola, yo soy Andrea Marquez and this is my last episode as your host of LatinEQUIS. On today's episode Ariel and I will talk about some of the things I learned through the journey of hosting and producing LatinEQUIS and I get to say goodbye. Even though I will be moving on to other opportunities, I'm forever grateful for everything LatinEQUIS has taught me, and to you, our listeners, for being with us through every step of the journey. LatinEQUIS will always be my first love and I'm honored to have given a voice to many different stories. LatinEQUIS was a love letter to my Latinidad, a great part of who I am and who I will always will be... my superpower. I'm excited for you to meet our new host! So stay tuned... and as always... thank you for listening.

    59. Fruits of Labor: the coming of age story about a teen farmworker

    On today's episode I speak to Ashley Solis as well as filmmaker Emily Cohen Ibañez about their new documentary Fruits of Labor. As the director of the coming of age documentary, Emily chronicles the day-to-day life of Ashley, an 18-year-old high school senior in Watsonville, CA, who like other girls her age, fantasizes about her perfect prom dress, steals away with her boyfriend, and dreams of what she'll do when she graduates college. Though graduating at all for Ashley is a reach because despite the fact that she's intelligent and motivated, she's oftentimes too tired from work or busy taking care of her younger siblings to actually attend school half the time. The film is an official selection of South by Southwest and you can watch the full-length documentary on https://www.pbs.org/pov/watch/fruitsoflabor/video-fruits-of-labor/ or on their website at fruitsoflaborfilm.com.  Support the film and learn more on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook @fruitsoflaborfilm.

    Special Episode: Introducing "Alma's Way" with Sonia Manzano

    Today I have the honor of speaking to Sonia Manzano known by many as Maria on Sesame Street, who she's played for 44 years. Sonia introduces Alma's Way, a new show on PBS Kids about a young 6-year-old proud, confident, Puerto Rican girl living a fast paced life in the Bronx alongside her family, friends, and neighbors.

In 2016, Sonia was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Emmy Award by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, recognizing her as a pioneer in representation of Latinos on television and for portraying Maria.

    On this episode I speak to Yvette Bodden, Founder and Author of Awakened-Woman, a digital platform designed to inspire and invigorate females. Her writing seeks to empower and encourage women searching for personal definitions of success to build strong communities through powerful storytelling. In just two years, Awakened Woman has amassed tens of thousands of followers, thanks to a combined 500+ articles centered around celebrity profiles, relationships, love, abuse, motherhood, and Latino culture, infused with a signature blend of Yvette’s pragmatism and compassion. Yvette is also a motivational speaker, channeling her own growth experiences to empower others. Her debut book, A Journey to Becoming the Best Self (Black Rose Writing)—part memoir and part prescriptive fiction, inspired by Yvette’s own post-divorce path from devastation to joy—was published in 2019, and received praise from The U.S. Review of Books. In 2021, she was also named one of the “Bella Bosses We Admire” by Bella Magazine.
