  • How I get my Latina on!

    I’ve never been very interested in podcasts until I decided to change it up in the mornings on the drive to the office. I went through quite a few until I found one that I could relate to, and I happened upon Latina to Latina. I admire Alicia’s interviews. questions, self reflections. I love all of the women with all of their different backgrounds and their stories, and what they’ve done with their lives. I’ve discovered through one of their stories, the complicated relationship between mother ... more

  • A podcast that makes Latinas feel seen

    The podcast I didn’t know I desperately needed. Alicia creates a space where Latinas can feel fully seen, not just for our successes, but for the messy, complicated, in-between moments that shape who we become. Every episode feels like a masterclass in identity, ambition, and resilience, with conversations that are honest, warm, and deeply affirming. The guests are incredible, the dialogue is thoughtful, and the storytelling is powerful. If you’re a Latina navigating career, entrepreneurship, or... more

  • Neoliberal propaganda

    The latest episode of a former Trump official who will be voting for Holocaust Harris is a perfect example of the absolute abysmal state of Latinx media. No critical thinking, just Trump bad, Harris good. Harris, who has vowed to continue to build Trump’s border wall, Harris of the Biden-Harris administration who continues to imprison immigrants, Harris who has abandoned DACA and Dreamers to appeal to the right.

Top 2: How Curator E. Carmen Ramos is Representing Us in the Art World
Q: Can you tell me about a time where you needed to explain or push through resistance to that inclusion?
Ramos recalls challenging graduate-school language hierarchies that excluded Spanish and Portuguese, defending artists' importance, and facing resistance in her first curator job. A community advisory committee helped pressure museum leadership to let her sit with the curatorial department.
Top 2: How Curator E. Carmen Ramos is Representing Us in the Art World
Q: Can you give me an example of how something that you have curated might have been different had it not been done by someone with your lived experience?
Ramos describes curating “Down These Mean Streets,” an exhibition that presented urban artists' work as both an account of their communities and a critique of how those communities were treated. Her own experience living in similar environments helped her understand their perspectives.
Remix: How Christy Haubegger Became a Media Mastermind
Q: Do you think there is a parallel for what we're now going through with Time's Up and the light that that's shining on the challenges that women in the industry have faced, that there will be something akin to that for the racial and ethnic complications of people in this industry?
Haubegger says Time's Up deliberately included women of color and argues that inequality cannot be addressed in isolation. She points to the disparity between women's share of directing opportunities and their share of talent.
Remix: How Christy Haubegger Became a Media Mastermind
Q: You go to Stanford Law. Why am I sitting at CAA in your office as an agent instead of some big corporate law firm?
