   Life Pasó: Why We Paused and Where We're Going

   ¡Estamos de vuelta, mi gente! After casi dos meses away, Nos servimos el cafecito and got real about por qué el pod se quedó quiet. Entre la mudanza (sí, we're officially vecinas now ), new jobs, y tratando de meter 48 horas en 24, algo tenía que dar, and this time it was la creatividad. Hablamos del orgullo de comprar casa y building legacy, de Baby J getting comfy en la casa nueva (y hablando hasta por los codos), and why it matters to pause y decir "lo hicimos" antes de correr pa'l próximo goal. Plus, lo que viene pa'l pod: dos episodios al mes, más calidad que cantidad, enfocados en identidad y diáspora, voz y activismo, familia y maternidad, and real stories from Camden y el área tri-state. Y queremos escucharte a TI. Tu primer invierno, tu primer viaje a la isla, esa receta de familia que nadie escribió (te vemos, pastelón de papa). It's pasteles season, y esa herencia hay que pasarla. Antes de irte: ¡regístrate pa' votar! El deadline de New Jersey es el 13 de octubre de 2026. En PA, DE y NY, check la página oficial de elecciones de tu estado. Coge a tu abuelita, a tu mamá, a tu vecina, and get registered. Mándanos tus historias at boricuaculturemix@gmail.com (mailto:boricuaculturemix@gmail.com) or en nuestras redes: Instagram: boricuaculturemixpod Tiktok: Boricua Culture Mix Pod Recuerda que You are Boricua enough. 🇵🇷☕

   When Diaspora Shows Up: A Light in the Dark

   Esta semana hacemos un rewind especial — y te prometemos que vale cada segundo. Back in January, nos sentamos con Karina Garcia de PRAHD (Puerto Rican Association for Human Development, Inc.) to talk about algo que nos llegó al alma: un programa piloto donde un grupo de mujeres de la diáspora viajaron por toda la isla de Puerto Rico to personally deliver solar generators to families in need. Familias que todavía están lidiando with an energy crisis that never really went away after María. A few weeks ago, nos invitaron a la premiere de su documental — A Light in the Dark — y girlll, we were not ready. Desde las velas encendidas en la oscuridad hasta las frases en las paredes de las familias que recibieron esos generadores, to hearing about every twist, every breakdown (el truck se dañó three times, okay), y cada momento de girl power que tomó hacer esto realidad — we left that room emotional, inspired, y más claras que nunca on why we do this podcast. También hablamos de lo que fue para nosotras estar en un cuarto lleno de profesionales, networkiando por el podcast — not our nine to fives — and the little imposter syndrome moment that came with it. Porque yes, we're still getting comfortable saying "we have a podcast" con todo el pecho. Plus, the car ride conversation we definitely should have recorded. Y antes de cerrar, mandamos amor y oraciones a Venezuela after the recent earthquake, and share how you can help. En este episodio: La premiere de A Light in the Dark de PRAHD Generadores solares, ayuda intencional & las mujeres que lo hicieron posible La crisis de energía en Puerto Rico & por qué sigue importando Networkiando por el pod (con su poquito de imposter syndrome incluido) El terremoto en Venezuela — cómo puedes ayudar Conversaciones en el carro, titi cups & showing up for the culture Si quieres conectar con PRAHD o apoyar A Light in the Dark, visita prahd.org (http://prahd.org).

   Nueva Yol, La Isla & Fiji: We Celebrated, We Cried, We Watched the Villa

   Nos fuimos de viaje, bueno a nuestro estilo. This week on Boricua Culture Mix Pod, we're making three stops and we're not slowing down. Primera Parada: Nueva Yol 🗽 New York was in full Boricua mode — the Puerto Rican Day Parade took over 5th Ave while the Knicks ended a 53-year championship drought. And right in the middle of it all? José Alvarado — Brooklyn-born, Puerto Rican by heart, draped in la bandera on the podium. We talk about what it means to be a diasporican to win an NBA title, and why his story is the living definition of you are Boricua enough. Segunda Parada: La Isla 🇵🇷 While New York was celebrating, Puerto Rico was in crisis. We sit down with Bianca from @ThisLatinaTravels, a resident of the island, to talk about what the water crisis actually looks like day to day — 15-minute water windows, eating out because you can't wash dishes, and neighbors in desperation. This isn't just a headline. It's somebody's real life. We also break down the Superacueducto failures, what the government is and isn't doing, and how the diaspora can help right now. Última Parada: Fiji 🌴 Because every now and then you gotta put your brain on pause. Love Island USA Season 8 has been... villa-ing. We give our takes on the couples, who needs to go home immediately, and why we're actually here for the Aftersun glow-up this season. New episodes every week. Leave us a review — it means more than you know. And remember: You are Boricua enough.
