🥟 You may know the empanadas… but you probably don’t know the woman behind them.
Doris Luna, owner of DeLuna Empanada — Empanadas Caseras, steps into the Flava Podcast Studio for a powerful conversation that goes WAY beyond food and entrepreneurship.
Doris opens up about her journey coming out of the closet, difficult experiences and trauma from her childhood, healing and acceptance, and the emotional responsibility of caring for her father as he lives with dementia.
She also shares her personal victory over illness and how she continues moving forward through everything life has put in front of her.
This episode has laughter, food, vulnerability, pain, family, entrepreneurship, resilience and VICTORY.
And joining Los at the table is our special guest co-host Leticia Andrade, helping us dig deeper into the woman behind the business and the story behind the empanadas.
🎙️ This isn’t just the story of Chicago’s Empanada Queen. This is the story of Doris Luna.
