In light of the recent discussions within the Latinx community regarding Black Lives Matter, @destinythinks &amp; @monicaconnects teamed up with @mismodest to have a candid conversation about race, our role as Latinas in the Black Lives Matter movement and beyond, and about the ways our immigrant experiences intersect with those of Black Americans in this country. Together we explore our Blackness, get a history lesson (read: gems) by @mismodest, and provide tangible tips for you to be a part of the solution rather than a perpetuant of the problem. We hope our conversation empowers you to reflect, take action, and practice empathy for everyone around you while we make it through these challenging times! The climb continues...

We Are Accomplices, Not Allies, & Support Black Lives with @mismodest

The ladies are joined by @mypeachfuzzblog founder, @shamitriskirby who is shining a light on Adenomyosis, a condition that affects one in ten women across the country and causes immense discomfort (which we spend the entire episode trying to pronounce correctly). Throughout the episode we discuss women’s health and disparities, getting our periods, tampons vs pads, convincing our Mamis to stop telling the entire world, and caring for the overall health of our bodies. Our co-host Shamitris shares her eye-opening experiences with adenomyosis and highlights the unfortunate gap of knowledge when it comes to women’s issues.
