Hi y’all! 👋🏽 Our 2nd roadtrip stop aligns well with Indigenous People's Day. We stumbled on César E. Chávez National Monument outside of Bakersfield, California. It's a perfect time to get into the history of labor organizing, migration, and Latino rights. We are seeing Latinos dehumanized by ICE and the impacts of the government shutdown. So it's time to ask, who gets to be defined as people? This is a deeply personal episode talking about my own Latino identity and how it's impacted me. Watch this week's episode. I hope you enjoy!
