Rodney Eric Lopez — teacher, salsa leader, and author of I Don’t Speak Spanish, But I Understand Everything When I’m Dancing! — shows how social dance creates a safe space for play, dissolves perfectionism, and reignites creative momentum. He traces his pivot from corporate PR into teaching, movement, and authorship, and explains how dance became a nonverbal doorway into heritage as a Bronx New Yorican who didn’t grow up speaking Spanish.

    Do you have an idea but struggle to carve your own path? In this episode Samí Haiman‑Marrero—entrepreneur, publisher, and storyteller—explains how she turned “no” into opportunity, carved out her own publishing path, and became la jefa (boss lady) she was always destined to be. About Samí Haiman-Marrero Samí Haiman-Marrero is a Puerto Rican storyteller, strategist, and entrepreneur whose life’s work is rooted in reclaiming power, cultivating trust, and building new paths for those too often left out of the narrative. With nearly three decades of experience in marketing, business development, and multilingual storytelling, Samí is the CEO of URBANDER, a communications firm dedicated to helping organizations engage meaningfully with diverse communities. A fierce advocate for equity and economic opportunity, Samí has spent her career designing human-centered strategies that drive impact, from corporate boardrooms to grassroots coalitions.

She continues to serve on multiple boards championing the arts, women, and underserved entrepreneurs. “Becoming La Jefa: The Angst and Joys of a Latina Carving Her Path in America” is her first book, a deeply personal memoir about navigating identity, leadership, motherhood, and business on her own terms. Through it all, Samí remains committed to a simple but radical truth: we carry the machetes our ancestors once wielded, not just to survive, but to create, to protect, and to lead.
