On this episode of Tamarindo, we are joined by Alejandra Campoverdi, the author of the new memoir, First-Gen. Alejandra Campoverdi's life reads like a series of impressive accolades, but she asks us to look underneath the accolades she describes as the often unacknowledged tolls of being a trailblazer. Some of these trailblazer tolls include “Invisible Inheritances,” “Bicultural Balancing Act,” and “Breakaway Guilt.  In our conversation, she expands on these tolls and reminds us that while she doesn't have all the answers, we can't heal and learn from what we cannot name and just as important, that we are not alone.  Follow Alejandra Campoverdi: https://www.instagram.com/acampoverdi/ Tamarindo is a lighthearted show where hosts Brenda Gonzalez and Ana Sheila Victorino discuss politics, culture, and self-development.

Brenda and Ana Sheila will be back with a new episode next week but this week, enjoy an episode Ana Sheila recorded with the hosts of Spilling La Sopa podcast. Spilling la Sopa hosts Wendy and Rosie take you through conversations about surviving their early 30s, the struggles of growing up between two cultures, familia, and healing through humor. In this conversation, Wendy, Rosie and I talk all about stepping out of your comfort zone - what it is, why to do it, how to do it, the struggle,  and of course, the rewards. We hope you walk away with a little more courage to be just a little more bold, a little more atrevida.  More about Spilling la Sopa Podcast.  "Spilling La Sopa is a Spanglish podcast where Dr. Wendy Herrera, a clinical and forensic psychologist, and her amiga, Rosie Ortiz, an I/O psychologist, discuss various mental wellness topics in the Latinx community como intergenerational trauma, the struggles of growing up between two cultures, and navigating dynamics in the familia. Rosie and Dr. Wendy use personal stories and acknowledge humor as a primary coping skill that allows for healing. The name Spilling La Sopa is meant to combine the feeling of "spilling the tea" with some good chisme, and of having a conversation without filter even if it's messy, "sin pelos en la lengua."

On this episode we focus on art as a tool for activism. Our artivists guests show us how identity and place influences their work, their critique of the confines of creatives spaces of the past, and how they are each working to make creatives of color have greater opportunities, mentorship, and liberty to create. Before that, we talk about Latina Equal Pay Day and the Latina wealth gap. We speak to Julio Salgado, the co-founder of DreamersAdrift and the Migrant Storytelling Manager for The Center for Cultural Power. His status as an undocumented, queer artivist has fueled the contents of his visual art, which depict key individuals and moments of the DREAM Act and the migrant rights movement. Undocumented students, organizers and allies across the country have used Salgado's artwork to call attention to the migrant rights movement. His work has been displayed at the Oakland Museum, SFMOMA and Smithsonian. Learn more about Julio: juliosalgadoart.com We also speak to Martha Gonzalez, a Chicana artivista (artist/activist) musician, feminist music theorist and Associate Professor in the Intercollegiate Department of Chicana/o Latina/o Studies at Scripps/Claremont College. Born and raised in Boyle Heights Gonzalez is a MacArthur Fellow (2022), Fulbright Garcia Robles (2007-2008), Ford (2012-2013), Woodrow Wilson Fellow (206-2017) and United States Artist Fellow (2020). Her academic interests have been fueled by her own musicianship as a singer/songwriter and percussionist for Grammy Award (2013) winning band Quetzal. Gonzalez along with her partner Quetzal Flores has been instrumental in catalyzing the transnational dialogue between Chicanx/Latinx communities in the U.S and Jarocho communities in Veracruz, Mexico. In the summer of 2017 Gonzalez's tarima (stomp box) and zapateado dance shoes were acquired by the National Museum of American History and are on permanent display in the One Nation Many Voices exhibit.

On this episode of Tamarindo, we kick off Latino and Latine Heritage Month with Miami-raised writer and director Aitch Alberto. Her new film “Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe”is out now. Among her many accolades, Aitch was featured on Variety's 10 Directors to Watch for 2022 and Indiewire's 22 Rising Female Filmmakers to Watch in 2022. She is a Sundance Episodic Lab fellow. We chat about the beautiful coming-of-age film and the universal themes it explores. We discuss the common struggles of adolescence like self-discovery, identity, and acceptance, to explorations of masculinity through a Latino/Latine lens. As the writers' and actors guild strikes continue, supporting Latino and Latine films is more important than ever. We encourage everyone to watch this film and uplift everyone involved.  We also reflect on our matracas of the summer after a long break giving a special shoutout to Raizado, an ideas and culture festival produced by The Latinx House with Monica Ramirez and Olga Segura at the helm. The four day event featured Latinx actors and cultural and social change makers, including politicians, philanthropists, business owners, and community advocates and closed with an open community day at a local park.  Mentioned on this Episode: Encuentro Creative Retreat Feb. 15 - 19, 2024 in Puebla, Mexico: https://www.tamarindopodcast.com/encuentro Please join us for “Cultivating Financial Liberation” Oct. 5th, 2023 in Highland Park, register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/cultivating-financial-liberation-tickets-704841107727 Tamarindo is a lighthearted show where hosts Brenda Gonzalez and Ana Sheila Victorino discuss politics, culture, and self-development.

On this re-play of Tamarindo, we speak to Carmen Rita Wong about her memoir, “Why Didn't You Tell Me?”. She is a former CNBC television host and the founder and CEO of Malecon Productions, LLC, where she develops female-focused media and entertainment. Her memoir is now available on paperback and it's a fantastic read! Through our conversation that centers around her memoir, we talk about themes present in many of our family stories, from racism to cultural erasure and the role of family secrets. Carmen talks about how often our adult lives are spent healing, breaking cycles, and reconnecting with ourselves as a result of toxic family upbringings. We also take a moment to acknowledge and denounce the vile anti-black and anti-indigenous audio leak from L.A city council members and speak to what we hope this moment can bring in the form of activism and healing.

This week, we are revisiting our Tamarindo favorite! This first aired fall 2019, so you'll hear us talk about the Democratic debates...ah...remember when the only pandemic we had to worry about was Tr*mp? We learn why stress is not ALL bad but why it's also more harmful than we think. We recognize that many of the stressors BIPOC folks face, like financial stress or discrimination, are not ones we can easily change without policy changes. That said, there are a few things we can do to start changing our relationship with stress like changing our mindset and discovering our #energychupacabras and what to do about them. We include a technique used by the stress management company that Ana Sheila co-founded, @Baskandbeing.   Speaking of stress, I want to invite you to a fantastic retreat to Puebla Mexico! This is happening February 15 - 19, 2024 and I am co-hosting this with Delsy Sandoval, the creator of the Ocu-pasion podcast.  We are calling this Encuentro: A creative retreat for podcasters and/or cultural creators.  Right now, we are accepting applications of interest for folks that would like to be a part of this transformative creative retreat.

This week on the pod, we're revisiting our talk with Dr. Manuel Pastor about how we can build a better economy centered on people, equity, and mutuality. Dr. Pastor talks to us about his book, “Solidarity Economics:Why Mutuality and Movements Matter” which he co-authored with Dr. Chris Benner. Here is what Angela Glover Blackwell, Founder of PolicyLink, has to say about this book. “In this powerful blueprint for an equitable future, Manuel Pastor and Chris Benner provide a bold critique of conventional wisdom about who owns the economy. They challenge us to radically imagine how we can design OUR economy to be fully inclusive and guided by the principles of mutuality and solidarity, ensuring that we put people first.” Dr. Pastor ‘s research generally focuses on issues of the economic, environmental and social conditions facing low-income urban communities – and the social movements seeking to change those realities.

To kick off Immigrant Heritage Month, Brend and Ana Sheila speak to two immigrant leaders that are working to build a more inclusive community. First, we speak to Saadia Khan, a storyteller, human rights activist, and social entrepreneur. She is the founder and host of the award-winning podcast and digital platform, Immigrantly, which challenges simplistic narratives around the immigrant experience. Saadia is also the co-producer and co-host of the Invisible Hate podcast, an ethical true crime podcast. Saadia has worked with organizations like Human Rights First, UN Women, and other UN entities, advocating for women's rights and justice. Her passion for storytelling extends to her written work, as she contributes to publications like Yes! Magazine, the Brown Girl Magazine, the Globe Post & Medium.  Next, we speak to Leydy Rangel, Communications Director at UFW Foundation, a non-profit that empowers and advocates for immigrants and farm workers. Leydy moved to the U.S. in 2004, grew up as an undocumented immigrant and has been protected from deportation as a DACA recipient since 2013. By utilizing strategic communications, she passionately advocates for both worker's rights and pro- immigrant federal policies, while incorporating her personal experience as an undocumented person into her work. In 2021, she and five other DACA recipients met with President Biden in the Oval Office to discuss immigration.

Danyeli Rodriguez Del Orbe  On this episode of Tamarindo, we speak to Danyeli Rodriguez Del Orbe, a poet, spoken word artist and cultural expression activist from the Dominican Republic raised in The Bronx. In her writing, she explores womanhood/ gender, love, and migration, and in this beautiful interview, we touch on all those topics and more. During the conversation we talk about the latest immigration policy developments and how they are affecting specifically black migrants. Please check out the Haitian Bridge Alliance if you'd like to get involved.  We honor Mental Health awareness month by speaking to what it meant to be well, sharing an exercise you can do when you're caught in an anxiety spiral, and Danyeli shares her personal process of going through deep depression and coming out on the other side.  Danyeli's work has been featured by the Bronx Museum of Arts, Museum of African Diaspora (MoAD), People en Español, NPR, and more. She was a recipient of the Define American Immigrant Artist Fellowship and Grant for an upcoming film project on Dominican migration.  NOTE: Since the recording of this episodes, the Dodgers apologized to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence and walked back their choice to uninvite the sisters.

On this episode we talk to Delsy Sandoval, a Guatemalan-American licensed therapist, counselor, visual artist, community-leader, and breakthrough podcast host of the Ocu-Pasión Podcast. We talk about why accessing the arts is beneficial to us all including for healing and building community.   About Delsy Sandoval Originally from the 818, also known as the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles - Delsy Sandoval has dedicated her career to Latin American people across the country through professional counseling and mental health programming all while simultaneously immersing herself into the art scene as a visual artist.    About Ocu-Pasiòn The Spanish language title "Ocu-Pasión" is a play on the blending of occupation and passion as a descriptor for creative practice. Through thoughtful dialogue, guests from all walks of life are able to authentically express who they are. The podcast serves as a platform to create community among Latin American people who currently cannot engage in creative expression due to circumstance, lack of access, or fear.   About Tamarindo Tamarindo podcast is the Latinx show where hosts discuss politics, pop culture, and how to balance it all con calma, hosted by Brenda Gonzalez and Ana Sheila Victorino. Join us as we delve into discussions on race, gender, politics, representation, and life!  Brenda and Ana Sheila are executive producers of Tamarindo podcast with production support by Mitzi Hernández and Augusto Martinez, of Sonoro Media.
