Good Hair Pt 2 The Afro latina

STILL need a break from the election? How about the second part of a conversation about black women's complicated relationship to hair and how its a metaphor for being subjected to standards of beauty they could never meet? Also, how we as a culture have internalized that ideal and oppress our own daughters? ONLY THIS TIME from an Afro Latina perspective? Today we talk to beautician and NuYorican Christina Mineo about her journey to reclaim beauty from an Afro Latina lens

Hope yal enjoyed this season!

Lost in the Sauce

This episode is all about not losing yourself. As you know, Almaganda is a biracial squad. Having said that, both are very connected to their cultural roots. However, In a relationship, It's  hard to make a space where both are present. Sometimes Alma wants to only watch telenovelas and listen to Banda. Sometimes prop wants Da Funk, the whole Funk, nuttin but the funk,  and eat catfish. This episode is about how we can support each other to filling up cultural cups.
