We're Vanessa and Jessenia, just two Mexican-American, Long Island girls trying to figure it out--and cataloging our thoughts while we do it. Occasionally we'll bring on guests who might have more personal experience with a topic! Jessenia is an educator and aspiring writer. She writes a blog, “Mericana, Gabacha, and Soñadora." Vanessa works as a legislative aide in local government. In her free time she can be found doom scrolling or hanging out with her houseplants.

    Episode 4 - Libre, Atrevida y Loca, No Calladita y Bonita

    In this episode, we are joined by the wonderful human, reproductive and gender justice activist Jas (she/they). Jas graciously offers insight on the importance of recognizing gender non-conformity and how cultural and linguistic barriers impede this movement for inclusion especially as it pertains to the term Latinx/Latine. Further reading: Many resources are available on the internet that go deep into explaining the importance of adopting Latinx and Latine in our daily language. As always, support works about these topics BY the people who have direct experiences with said topics. Support underrepresented creatives. Video discussed for your viewing is here: Latinx2: Electric Boogaloo, Ruben Angel Youtube Video Link to the article that describes the X in Latinx as symbol, a metaphor, a story here: The X In Latinx Is A Wound, Not A Trend Link to Jas' work here: https://linktr.ee/jasmargarita We have socials now!
