    I really enjoyed this episode.

    The conversation about failure and the pressure of being first gen felt honest and relatable. It didn’t feel scripted just real experiences and real lessons. Definitely a reminder that setbacks are part of the journey, not the end.

    I’d recommend this episode to first gen students, young adults figuring out their path, and anyone who’s felt pressure to succeed or afraid of failing.

  • A must listen for Latinos & anyone who’s down for the brown!

    I absolutely LOVE how Jasmine integrates ALL the flavors of Latino Culture into her podcast! I find that most Latino podcasts focus on the Mexican experience, while Hella Latin@ brings to light the differences and the commonalities amongst our Hispanic culture. Another favorite thing, are the thought-provoking questions that Jasmine asks! She extracts gems from her guests, that make me feel so seen AND allow me to view my upbringing from a unique perspective. This podcast is totally MUST LISTEN!... more
