Todo Latino Show By Todo Wafi

Prepare to be whisked into the heart of Latina culture as we sit down with the powerhouses behind Latina Fest, Bel Hernandez Castillo and Naibe Renozo. In a tapestry of vibrant discussions, they share the secrets behind their festival's success—from its humble beginnings to becoming a beacon of inclusivity and empowerment in downtown Los Angeles. Discover how they're celebrating everything from tantalizing cuisines to the latest fashion, and how they're amplifying the voices of Afro-Latina and other underrepresented groups within the vast Latina community. Their stories of tenacity and triumph are not just inspiring; they're a call to action for Latinas everywhere to shine.

As if that wasn't electrifying enough, our conversation ventures into the realm of Latina influence on consumerism and entrepreneurship. We peel back the layers of how Latina Fest not only revels in culture but also serves as a pivotal platform for direct consumer engagement, especially in the beauty industry. Witness the incredible growth narrative of the festival, its battles for corporate recognition, and the eventual breakthrough with major brands now lining up to support this cultural powerhouse. Each anecdote from our guests is a testament to their endurance and vision, setting the stage for a future where Latina entrepreneurs are no longer the unsung heroes of the economy.

But wait, there's more! We're not just bystanders in the ongoing narrative of Latina Fest; we're proud to announce our participation in the upcoming media panel, coinciding with a very special birthday celebration. So, mark your calendars and don't let FOMO get the better of you—join us for an experience that promises to be as enriching as it is festive. With all the details available on latinafest.com, there's no excuse not to be part of the movement that's rewriting the script for Latina representation in media, business, and beyond.

Have you ever considered the untold story stitched into the fabric of a menstrual pad? Yessica Villatoro, the innovative force behind Just Period, does just that, weaving a narrative of empowerment and sustainability into each reusable pad her company creates. From her roots in Chihuahua, Mexico, to launching a business that's challenging menstrual stigmas head-on, Yesica's journey is as absorbing as the eco-friendly Zorb technology she champions. This episode peels back the layers of menstrual health education and the reasons behind Just Period's commitment to revolutionizing the way we view and manage periods, especially within Latino communities, where open discussions can be rare.

Discover the misunderstood hero of period care – the reusable menstrual pad, and let Yesica dismantle every myth you've heard about them. Comfort meets convenience in Just Period's skin-friendly minky material and leak-preventing design, making the monthly cycle less of a hassle and more of an experience in self-care. We navigate through the practicalities of pad care, storage, and even how to incorporate them into your on-the-go lifestyle. In the process, we're unraveling the wider implications of period poverty, and the personalized flair that Just Period brings to each design, offering a glimpse into the future of period care that's not only sustainable but also economically savvy.

As we wrap up, we're not just celebrating the near one-year anniversary of Just Period's entry into the period care conversation – we're also cementing Yessica's commitment to community, feedback, and the environment. We probe into how reusable menstrual products like hers are making waves against the 'pink tax' and how they're educating and empowering young girls. Join us in acknowledging the collective effort required to move towards a more period-positive future, where informed choices and community support are the norms, not the exceptions. With Yessica, Yovy, and Daisy by our side, we invite you to be part of this transformative mission.

We talked with East San Jose, California native and Latina Writer/Director Yara Estrada Lowe about her new film Demise.  

About Demise:
Set in the present day, Latino landscaper, Caleb Castillo, leads a double life. He is entangled in a steamy affair with rising fashion star, Fiona Hernandez, while simultaneously devoted to his beautiful wife, Celine. Celine wants a child with Caleb more than anything in the world. As Fiona’s patience wears thin with Caleb's promises to leave his wife, Celine discovers Caleb's infidelity; they break up. Caleb and Fiona begin to forge a new life together, but Celine becomes obsessed with reclaiming what she believes is rightfully hers, including Caleb's newborn son, Brody. It appears that she may just succeed. But just when Celine thinks she has achieved victory, the film takes yet another twist and turn on this roller coaster ride of a modern-day noir, set in LA.
