   Episode 44: Bad Bunny, Latina Identity & Reclaiming Our Roots

   The Bad Bunny concert was more than a performance — it was a cultural moment. In this episode, I reflect on what it meant for me as a Latina woman navigating identity, language loss, and generational assimilation. Growing up, I didn't speak Spanish. I felt disconnected from my Latina roots and struggled to understand where I belonged. Watching this concert brought up deep reflections about what was lost in the name of assimilation, what was never truly gone, and how cultural pride can be reclaimed. I share my personal story of hiding my identity, learning Spanish later in life, reconnecting to my heritage, and raising Latino children with curiosity about where they come from. This conversation explores: Latina identity and cultural pride Language loss and assimilation in immigrant families Growing up Latina without speaking Spanish Generational healing and reclaiming heritage Why cultural representation matters This isn't just about Bad Bunny. It's about understanding our roots, telling our stories, and honoring where we come from. If you've ever questioned your cultural identity or felt "not enough," this episode is for you. 💛 Let's keep sharing our stories.

Whether I got something in return from my dad or not, it was more about me voicing what I felt and letting that out so I could heal. Out of your body. Yes. Me and my dad had already that year started having those conversations. So leading up to his episode, we had multiple conversations on the side, just me and him, about things that have happened. […]
