Podcast appearances and mentions of dewey square group

Today on Mea Culpa, I'm joined by Maria Cardona, Democratic strategist, CNN commentator, Principal at the Dewey Square Group, and founder of Latinovations. We unpack the chaos surrounding Trump's administration this week. From mass deportations, including U.S. citizens and children, to the administration's open defiance of the Supreme Court, we examine how due process is being shredded in real time. We also break down the economic fallout of Trump's reckless tariffs, his crumbling international reputation, and the media's complicity in normalizing authoritarian behavior. With misinformation spreading from the White House podium and a growing disinformation echo chamber, Maria and I make the case for why now, more than ever, Americans must speak up, show up, and vote.

"I can project, I can whisper, I can do all these kinds of things. But when I’m code-switching, there’s a mindful approach to how I want the information to be received and how I want to be perceived by this person. And I want to create connection." — Alma Molina How we communicate is highly dependent on where we’re communicating and with whom. The work we put into tailoring our delivery can range from hyper-intentional to largely unconscious. In this conversation, Dewey Square Group principal and multicultural communications strategist Alma Molina shares her experience in code-switching. If you enjoyed Alma's interview, you'll find fascinating this conversation in episode 50 with Angela Hayes on respecting and appreciating diversity.
