Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode #76 - Pro-Sé-So: Empowering Communities Through Law and Education
Q: Why did Stephanie join and what drew you to this mission?
Stephanie joined because she wanted to impact her own community directly, saw the lack of accessible, accurate information, and believed in building a bridge between education and practical legal help, especially for Spanish-speaking communities.
Episode #76 - Pro-Sé-So: Empowering Communities Through Law and Education
Q: So what inspired you to create Pro-Sé-So, and why do you see a gap that you wanted to fill?
The idea grew from personal burnout during the last Trump administration and the realization that immigration practice remains essential; Pro-Sé-So emerged as an educational platform to democratize immigration knowledge, reduce exploitation by notarios, and connect people with legitimate legal services when needed.
Episode #65 - Belizean and Caribbean Stories Through Film
Q: What challenges do Belizean filmmakers face, and how do you plan to uplift Belizean stories?
She explains the limited local film infrastructure, the Belize film commission's role, and ongoing collaborations with the diaspora to bring Belizean narratives to a broader audience, including teaching programs in Belize.
Episode #65 - Belizean and Caribbean Stories Through Film
Q: Tell me a little bit more about yourself and your upbringing in Belize.
Nadieme describes growing up in Belize, moving to Los Angeles, and then returning to Belize to pursue filmmaking, highlighting how her background in literature and history shaped her storytelling approach.
Episode #66 - Pass the Mic Live: Fashion as Resistance with Hood baby
Q: What would you advise to someone who's just trying to enter the fashion space, and build an identity for their brand?
Create what you wish existed; study history, reference your favorite eras, stay informed, and keep going without doubting yourself, because creative flow demands your entire commitment.
