In this episode, Nat & Cindy get into how it all began for them when deciding to launch a podcast.

She gets into why it took so long for this to come to fruition, being a mother of eleven children and why it is okay for women to ask for help and make mistakes. Dolores gives all women (and men) inspiration to persevere regardless of the hurdles or as she puts it - Si Se Puede (Yes You Can)!

We needed some more Rebecca Gitana loving on Morado Lens and so this time we paid her a visit at her pad in Manhattan. Rebecca dives into her anxiety on going back to her tierra of Puerto Rico post Hurricane Maria. She also gives us some insight on what is desperately needed in Puerto Rico right now and how you can donate to her relief fund. You can hear it all on iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher and more.

Pop that bottle of champagne because we get into what 2018 brought us and how we grew as women. As Nat said, this year “was very interestingly painful.” Cheers to that, brujas, because out of pain comes growth and we are about that life. We started the year off strong with actress Rosario Dawson who broke news on our podcast about the sexual assault she experienced as a child and interviewing badass Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, to name a few. We even talk sex and whether or not Nat has finally tried a sex toy, how marijuana is actually a colonized word and what it was really like to let go of certain people in our lives. Lessons learned, self-worth, podcast realness is what we’re about. Be sure to listen to the very end as we finally release a story close to hearts that carried a lot of shame for way too many years. We make a special announcement on the future of Morado Lens. And the projects we’ve been working on. Cindy on Pen to Paper Retreats, helping women of color seeking a spiritual connection to get out of their comfort zones and into hiking and writing. Nathalie on her first international retreat in Costa Rica for La Brujas Club for October 2019. Join us on January 18th as we will attending the Indigenous People’s March in Washington D.C. and staying in the area for the Women’s March the following day.
Immigrations Lawyer, Activist and Artist. All descriptions of Carolina Rubio-Macwright who we had the pleasure of interviewing for the second time on Morado Lens. Last time Carolina stopped by the studio, we discussed immigration law and the Dream Act. This time around we dived into the asylum seekers coming mostly from Central America, the detention centers privately owned (and making a shit ton of $$ from detaining asylum seekers), the ground work in Dilley, TX, border issues and so much more. Carolina also educates us all on how we can help locally and why you should head over to her Posada if invited - you won’t regret this Mexican ritual. You can hear the full episode on moradolens.com, Spotify, Google Play, Stitcher and Apple Podcasts. Be sure to follow Carolina’s amazing work via IG/FB @Carustol.
Okay, don't freak out but this is our last show for the summer. Yes, you read it right. WE are leveraging the summer solstice to rejuvenate and care for our soul. And, we are also utilizing this time off to put together some amazing content for your ears (and eyes!). In the meantime, please take a moment to hear what 2018 has brought to fruition for us. We dive into some of our favorite highlights, give you insight to what some of our Brujitas or badass guests are up to these days, and even giveaway some clues for what we have in store. Get acquainted and let us know what or who you want to hear from starting August 2018. Until then, please take a moment to appreciate the sun's energy source, and remember we are only a DM or email away from all of you amazing ladies who have been a source of inspiration for us.
When you meet Ada Rojas the first thing you will notice is her insanely lively curls and vibrant aura. Could it be an Aries thing? We suspect it has something to do with it but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. This hard-working, creative entrepreneur drops genuine gems on Instagram in hopes of connecting with her followers to help make the world a more inclusive and positive place. She lets us in her professional and curly hair journey to selling Avon in high school to blogging when it wasn’t a thing to how being raised by a single Dominican mom helped make her who she is today. Ada even tells us the story behind her name, the famous “where are you from?” question, and answers a question from our Morado Lens tarot deck that hits home. You can learn more about Ada here. P.S. She’s even got a dope wellness event called Good Vibes & Chill where Morado Lens will be doing a live podcast. Join us. Tell a friend or 5.

episode dedicated to sex and we did just that (you're welcome!). We broke it down in 2 ways. One of us (hint: Nat) is the prude and the other (hint: Cindy) is the pornstar - not in a literal sense, but kinda. We break down walls (not the kinds that exist in our vagina) about being sex positive, lifting the veil of shame and owning more sex toys in the future because hey, we're all about self-care at Morado Lens headquarters. We even sprinkle in motherhood and the societal norms that make some think Nat isn't the mom of a 4 yr. old named Jonah. Crazy, we know. And Cindy delivered breaking news about her future Erotica novel... stay tuned!
As we quickly approach 2018, we took this moment to reflect and show gratitude to all the beautiful moments at Morado Lens. Of the many, our listener's comments and questions are what we live for. To know Morado Lens podcast is reaching out to so many feminists, Latinas - and even men, is so wonderful! So here's a special episode dedicated to all you (the listener's) ! *May we continue to share love via our podcast and beyond!
We were honored to be guests on a recent episode of sister podcast Morado Lens.

For this very special bonus episode, LWL rebroadcast their guest-spot on Morado Lens, one of their favorite Latinx podcasts. Cindy and Nat created a platform to share real and sometimes taboo conversations with their Latinx and fellow Bruja audience. Las chicas de Morado engage in a very interesting discussion with FavyFavy and Babelito about cultural appropriation, faux-woke culture, and the importance of recording their podcasts face to face. LWL confront the rise and fall of their inner brujos and ponder the inclusion of ketchup in ceviche.
El Favy no se cansa de viajar and in this Mordida he shares his adventures in la manzanota, aka Nueva Yorkz, with Babelito. Y aprovechando la vuelta, he interviewed the fabulous Richard Villegas from Songmess podcast. The stars aligned and during the same weekend Favy met LWL podcast primas; Las brujas de Morado Lens and las chicas of Unravel: A Fashion Podcast. The NYC Latinx kiki was too real and magical!!!
Hello again Duhmericana listeners! This is our last week of Women’s Month, where we highlighted some important topics about womanhood near and dear to our hearts. To wrap up the month, we connected with the amazing girls over at Morado Lens podcast, Cindy and Nat, for a simulcast! This means you can hop on over to their podcast and listen to the same content (and if you’re visiting from Morado Lens yourself, welcome!). Cindy and Nat taught us a lot about what it means to embrace your “inner bruja”, your inner “witch.” Though some might shrink away from the negative connotations of the word, we discovered that all of us women have a heightened sense of intuition, usually picked up from our mothers (who, lets admit it, are always right!) and we operate in that intuition daily, from small decisions to larger gut feelings about people, places, events, etc. Womanhood itself has this intuition built into it, and it’s probably something many of you have experienced, or perhaps have witnessed in the lives of women around you. Speaking of womanhood, we all contribute daily to the conversation about feminism, femininity, and the woman’s worldview. Wilx has her blog, www.lionsorchid.com, where she is creating a community for new and experienced moms where they can provide feedback and motivation to one another. Benzy, working in the educational field, aspires to inspire young women to pursue their dreams, and doesn’t shy away from being both strong and feminine as a way to showcase what true womanhood is to men in her life. What does unleashing your inner bruja mean to you? In what ways are you contributing with your day to day life to the conversation about womanhood and the feminine experience? Let us know below! If you’d like to connect with Morado Lens, find them anywhere you prefer to listen to podcasts, and on Instagram @moradolens. #girlboss #womenhood #womensmonth #latinx #feminism #womenrights #girltalk #balance #motherhood #passions #latina #career #smallbusiness #culture
