90s Nostalgia with Artivist Julio Salgado  Today's episode is a two-part conversation with artist and activist Julio Salgado. Viewers can see Julio's vibrant art work at immigrant rights rallies, the LA Times, or promoting one of LA's greatest dance nights, Cumbiaton. Julio's status as an undocumented, queer artivist has fueled the contents of his visual art, which depict key individuals and moments of the migrant rights movement. Recorded at the end of a long week, these two elder millennials, Brenda and Julio, from the class of 2001, revisit some of the female vocalists of the '90s who shaped Jullio's early experiences living in the US. Through this chat, we'll take you on a nostalgic journey through the sounds of an era when women were taking center stage fronting bands in the 90s and into the early 2000s; and we'll draw some parallels to some of the leading women in music today.  I asked Julio to pick five songs for us to discuss and you can hear what songs we reference through this playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/02bVhKS9ihFMiGIJGEswUc?si=c8b2e64c809c43ff We had such a fun time approaching our convo like some of our favorite podcasts, Las Cultureistas and Vibe Check, we completely lost track of time.

This episode of Tamarindo is a partnership with the National Hispanic Cultural Center (NHCC), an organization dedicated to making a cultural home for the diverse identities that shape the community. October 3rd marked Latina Equal Pay day, a day of action that calls attention to the Latina wage gap. Our friends at the NHCC invited Tamarindo to lead a conversation about how we can raise the pay for Latinas. We had a fantastic panel of Latina changemakers: Melanie Fontes Rainer  who serves as the Director of the Office for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services where she leads the Department's enforcement of federal civil rights and privacy laws and directs related policy and strategic initiatives. Stephanie Rodriguez who is the Secretary for the New Mexico Higher Education Department.  Pola Lopez, a  New Mexico-born, self-taught artist with a rich background in the Southwestern cultural heritage. She has been a prominent figure in the New Mexico art scene. Even though October 3rd is behind us, the work to bring pay equity for Latinas is ongoing. This powerful conversation shows some of the innovative ways that Latinas are leading the way for pay equity.

After Club Med, she went to work at The Four Seasons in Tamarindo, Mexico as The Director of Leisure Activities and we will talk about that as well. Please help me welcome from Florida, Sarah Paster! Sarah worked at the Club Med resorts of Punta Cana, Albion, Cancun and Miches. She was destined for a life of teaching when she took a detour through Club Med. She was about to leave for France to teach English to French high schoolers when she decided to explore the Club Med route further. Sarah shares a rather memorable first season Memorial Day story with us and we talk about her Sports Manager stage in Opio, France, and which EXCDV mentored her during her first interim CDV.

This is a jam packed episode with inspiring storytellers through food, film, and fiction. We start with a panel chat with Hugo Gamino and Claudia Restrepo. Hugo is a chef and writer dedicated to sharing the untold stories behind the recipes that have shaped his life and career. His writing is fostering understanding, and bringing to life an empathetic viewpoint of diversity while challenging toxic masculinity. Claudia is an LA-based writer, director, and actor who is passionate about minority and queer representation, both in front and behind the camera. She recently executive produced and starred in the film “Peak Season” a refreshing romantic comedy that's free from the typical tropes of its genre. See it now on Prime.  Next up, we have Paola Mendoza, who you may know as  the artist director and co-founder of the 2017 Women's March. She's directed many projects, including the beautiful film “Entre Nos”, the semi-autobiographical story based on Paola's mother's arrival to the US from Colombia. Paola joins us to speak about her latest book, SOLIS, which she co-wrote with Abby Sher and is a companion to their first book, Sanctuary. Especially in light of candidate Trump's vile depiction of immigration during the debate, we need works of art like SOLIS to remind us that the dystopian world in the story is not too far off where we can be headed if he is reelected.
