Our mission is to redefine the word "professionalism" by empowering Latino/ Latina/ Latinx communities to be their authentic selves. When we are told to be professional, in many ways we are told to not be ourselves.

On this podcast, we have candid conversations and explore the conflict that we often face between being our authentic selves & "professionalism". The podcast is named ¿Quién Tú Eres? because that’s the question that we want each guest to answer. Listen to find out who we really are...when we stop code-switching.

    Agua Bonita with Kayla Castañeda

    Agua Bonita with Kayla Castañeda

    Welcome to a brand new episode of the ¿Quién Tú Eres? podcast, where we explore the conflict we often face between "professionalism" & being our authentic selves. This week's guest is Kayla Castañeda, who is the founder of Agua Bonita. Here's a quick bio...in Kayla's own words...



    Much like the aguas frescas we make, my family history starts in Mexico and settles in the fruit fields of the Central Valley of California. My ancestors immigrated to the states pursuing the opportunity for a better life and following the migrant farm work as field workers, which led us here – where we grow 60% of the nation’s produce! 

    Growing up here, my grandpa would bring us home super ripe fruit from the fields that he couldn’t just stand to let go to waste. This fruit would be sprinkled with chile powder or made into aguas frescas for the whole family to enjoy.

    When I lost my job mid-pandemic, I took it as “when life gives you lemons, make aguas frescas.” I decided to create something that is reflective of my culture, my family, and my grandpa’s teachings of never letting food go to waste (and not too much sugar – he was diabetic), and Agua Bonita was born. We’ve carried on the tradition of taking real fruit from the fields and creating a delicious drink to share with everyone, from our home to your hands.

    C.R.E.A.M with Pabel & Samara

    C.R.E.A.M with Pabel & Samara

    April is Financial Literacy Month, so this week… @samaraconnects and @pabiceps discussed how knowledge (or lack of it) impacted life and career decisions.$ isn’t a requirement to be your most authentic self at work. It sure does give you a boost of confidence knowing that when your savings account is stacked. If you’re disrespected at work, you can quit and let that savings account and investments hold you down for a while.

Inspirational, healing, and authentic

I absolutely love Pabel’s podcast. I came across it at a time when I was transitioning from a toxic work environment that had greatly affected my mental health. Listening to this helped me heal, feel seen, and realize I’m not alone in my experience. I even had my white husband listen to a few podcast episodes and it greatly opened his eyes to my personal struggles in the PNW tech world. I can’t recommend this podcast enough - I love listening to it as it feels like I’m listening to friends chat.

5 estrellas!

A solid podcast. I found it engaging and informative. Pabel is a great host and conversationalist, and keeps the conversation lively and engaging and more importantly, deep. Some pods struggle to strike the balance between educational and entertaining, that’s not an issue here. A lot of great information, a lot of great advice. Would definitely recommend to anyone curious about the world of professionalism in the 2020’s . A great listen, no notes.

Mixed Feelings

I have mixed feelings about ¿Quién Tú Eres? by Pabel Martinez. The reason why is that I noticed a pattern. The pattern is that most of his Afro-Latino guests are lighter-skinned and mixed-race. How will they relate to my experience as a dark skin Afro-Latino with two Black parents? Also, most of them (including the host) love to separate their Black and Latino heritages (keep in mind, being Afro-Latino is supposed to be together, not separated). Or worse, not identify as a Black Latino (Afro-Latino or mixed with Black Latino). I know it’s their experiences, but not all of us have the “luxury” of just being Latino because it’s a culture, not a race. All I am saying is to diversify your guests to hear new things from the business world of Hispanics/Latinos, their personal stories, their side jobs, or all three suggestions. I do appreciate the direction you’re going, but there is more you can do. Look on Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube to reach out to Afro-Latino content creators (for example) to start. There are literal hashtags to use online to reach people, like the ones you use on Instagram. Use them, Mr. Martinez. P.S. - I listened to 6 - 8 of your Afro-Latino (mestizo or mixed with Black Latinos) episodes, so I know what I am saying.
