Episode 138: Leading with Representation & Organization for the Latinx Community with Brenda Gonzalez
“As a nation we are unlearning and reflecting on the ways we’ve been toxic to each other and on how to embrace the diversity in people. ”
I have the pleasure of sitting down with Brenda Gonzalez, founder, co-ceo and co-host of the Tamarindo Podcast - a Latinx empowerment podcast. We discuss the impact of Prop 187 in California and its impact on national politics. We go down the rabbit hole of the origin of the term Hispanic. And we talk about why representation, organization, AND access to source origin documents matter so much for every group to be counted, understood, and have fact based truths.
