Tea with Tía: Creating the Modern-Day Village with Jess Matos

Send us a text

There’s no one like your auntie, your tía, who slips you sweets, remembers your baby chub days, and keeps all your secrets. And there’s no one like Jess Matos, Mexico City-based creative strategist and comedian, who runs the hilarious and insightful The Tía Chronicles. Join us as we talk all things tía life and beyond!

Listen in to hear:

• How Jess started The Tía Chronicles as a love letter to the tías in her life
  
  
• How the women in our lives, from aunties to teachers, shape and mold us
  
  
• Expectations (among MANY) that society places on women to have children
  
  
• The experience of growing up a first generation kid
  
  
• Why parents can call on their village when they need help/time away/a good cry 
  
  
• Why tías have more fun
