Brunch con Salsa

As 2020 comes to a close (hallelujah!) we recap our favorite moments of the season and our least favorite if you catch our drift. Join us as we bid 2020 farewell and welcome the new year! 

Today is Election Day and your Brunch Con Salsa girls can use some hope! We brought in our "hope dealer" Jenn Roth from Mission Uplift to help us to stay positive and hold on to hope as we wait for the election results. We discussed how the 2016 election affected us, what we're anxious about and how we're firmly holding on to our faith in Jesus to get us through this week.  Be sure to check Jenn out on Insta by following her at @missionuplift or at her website missionuplift.co 

Election Day is just a week away and we're discussing why it's so important for our Latin Community to get out and vote every election season! As the largest minority group in the U.S., the Latin vote has buying power and voting power. A record 32 million Latinos are projected to be eligible to vote in 2020, up from 27.3 million in 2016. The 2020 election will mark the first time that Latinos will be the largest racial and ethnic minority group in the electorate, accounting for just over 13% of eligible voters (Pew Research, 2020). There are many reasons why the Latin community needs to get out to vote and we're bringing those facts to you! 

We're discussing racism our very own Latin community. We go deep into the history of our racist culture and how it manifests in our culture today and the pain it brings to us. Everything from "loving" nicknames, to our identities, Vogue Mexico to how we work toward anti-racism within our families. . . . Follow us at @BrunchConSalsa  on Facebook & Instagram! Be sure to share our podcast with your friends and family and leave us a review! 

We're processing live on today's episode as we discuss this year's events with the murders of Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and many more. We're diving deep on what brought us to where we are now in the fight against racism in the U.S. and our perspectives as Latinas and what we can do to support our Black brothers and sisters. 

After a "brief" hiatus, we're back and we're excited to be celebrating Latin Heritage Month! 2020 has been a beast but let's take this time to celebrate and appreciate the positive impact we've received from the Latin community! As mentioned in our episode, here are some resources for you to sort through this month to get a bit more familiar on how to engage and dive in to the celebration!  Books:  https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/the-read-down/hispanic-heritage-month  https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/15-great-new-books-latinos-hispanic-heritage-month-n1052451  https://www.oprahmag.com/entertainment/books/a29094239/latinx-a-thon-hispanic-heritage-month-books/ Influencers: https://www.oprahmag.com/life/g28968602/famous-hispanic-people/  A list of Latina Owned Businesses https://www.oprahmag.com/life/g29305311/latina-owned-businesses/

We're back! This episode is heavy but necessary. We hope you stick around to listen to us process and for an exclusive interview with an El Paso local and friend of the pod! 

This episode has us on the hot seat...in the best of ways! Meredith Woodruff is a dear friend to us all. She constantly provides a healthy, safe space for everyone she comes in contact with and that's only one of the million reasons why we love her! In this session, Meredith is asking the questions! We discuss everything from name pronunciation to what it's like to live, work or simply be women of color. We ADORE her and we're sure you're going to love her too! 

We love this season! The holidays, family time, food...LOTS and LOTS of food! 

We meet new people all the time! Whether we're starting a new job, moving to a new city, meeting someone for the first time, we usually get asked several key questions to learn about one another. Sometimes, however, answering these questions are hard for us! 

Today marks the end of a month-long fiesta known as Hispanic Heritage Month. To celebrate (it's always a party), we wanted to share some fun things we've learned along the way! 

Code-switching is an art and we've mastered it! Being a "fill in the blank-American" is exhausting at times and having to do life between cultures is a never-ending journey. Why do we code-switch and is it necessary? 

Welcome to the intro to our podcast! We're three Latinas talking about what it’s like to live between cultures in the U.S. We chat about the funny things, the not so fun to chat about things, the food things, pop culture things and sometimes the elephant in the room. We want to create a space and platform where cultural minorities in our society can share their experiences about what it’s like to live in a predominantly Anglo-culture just like we do!  To connect with us on Instagram, click HERE.
