Season 2: Episode 8 - Access to Nutritious Foods
It's 5:30pm, you just got off work, you're heading home, and now you're debating - do I stop by to pick up food or try to cook something up at home?
Join us as we discuss access to nutritious foods in working class communities, how lack of access impacts our communities, and the importance of supporting our communities based on the resources available to the people.
During our platica we ask folks to keep the following in mind:
What access to quality and affordable food do you have in your community?
If you were to go for a walk around your community - what stores do you see? What grocery stores do you have access to?
Do you see yourself cooking more at home or buying take-out?
How does this impact our health?
Love and Unity,
The Cafecito con Conciencia team

Episode 6: Respecting Essential Workers
As COVID cases continue to drastically increase in Los Angeles, and the United States overall the community who is keeping this economy from crashing are the Essential Workers. How we treat, acknowledge, uplift, most importantly how we show respect to Essential Workers are priority questions as we enter a brutal time called the holidays. A time when capitalism thrives and people forget to be kind to one another. Especially being kind to the same people who don’t have the privilege to work from home. Tune in to reflect and hear some first hand experiences of what it means to respect our modern heroes: Essential Workers.
