Discovering Your Energy Chupacabras Oct 13, 2021

Show notes

Tamarindo is taking a week off to recharge our pilas. So we invite you to revisit this episode to help you uncover your energy chupacabras and ways to reduce stress.

This first aired fall 2019, so you’ll hear us talk about the Democratic debates...ah...remember when the only pandemic we had to worry about was Tr*mp?

We learn why stress is not ALL bad but why it’s also more harmful than we think. We recognize that many of the stressors BIPOC folks face, like financial stress or discrimination, are not ones we can easily change without policy changes. That said, there are a few things we can do to start changing our relationship with stress like changing our mindset and discovering our #energychupacabras and what to do about them.

We include a technique used by the stress management company @Baskandbeing

You can learn more about them here https://baskandbeing.com/

Police Brutality and the Latinx Community Sep 15, 2021

Show notes

We talk to two women that are using their voice to ensure that the lived experiences of people of color in our community are seen and valued through storytelling and policymaking. Specifically, we talk about police brutality and the violence that Latinx folks experience as a direct result of white supremacy and the need to humanize experiences with thoughtful reporting.

We have Eunisses Hernandez, a policy advocate for communities most devastated by criminalization, the war on drugs, and mass incarceration. She is the Director & Co-Founder of LA Defensa, in LA. We also speak to Nicole Chavez, from CNN’s Race and Equality team. Nicole reports about how race relations and inequality impact the lives of people of color. She reported extensively about the aftermath of the 2019 Walmart shooting in El Paso, Texas -- the deadliest attack on Latinos in modern history.

We reference this LA Times article as we talk about “Real Women Have Curves”: https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/story/2021-09-12/patricia-cardoso-real-women-have-curves-academy-museum

Writing as Activism with Dr. Ana Castillo Sep 01, 2021

Show notes

Writing when no one is telling our stories is a form of activism and bearing witness to our experiences. On this episode of Tamarindo, we talk to icon and writer, Dr. Ana Castillo, about why she writes, the evolution of her identity, and her latest book of poems, “My Book of the Dead” which is now available.

We also discuss what we hope for the future of our community, while we also pay homage to Latinx writers we lost this last year including Rudy Anaya who wrote the celebrated “Bless Me, Ultima” and Miguel Algarín, co-founder of the Nuyorican Poets Café.

Dr.Ana Castillo is a celebrated author of poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and drama. Among her award-winning books are ”So Far from God,” “The Mixquiahuala Letters,” and “Massacre of the Dreamers: Essays on Xicanisma.” Born and raised in Chicago, Castillo now resides in southern New Mexico.

Stick around for a fun game called “Have you ever…” that y’all can join in on!
