Boss Y Bocona

In this week's episode, the Boss Boconas discuss the difference between being a hater and giving critique, voting pressures this election season, and online to IRL friendships.

This week we have some questions that need answers (#QTNA): Will I be a good tia? Am I good feminist? Am I a good social justice-oriented Xicana? What is spirituality? Dive in with us as we discuss family dynamics, societal pressures on women, and decolonizing our minds through spiritual practices.
