Fitting in with "Güero" from Gentefied, Carlos Santos May 06, 2020

Show notes

On this episode of Tamarindo, we connect with Carlos Santos, the actor and comedian who plays Chris Morales, one of three cousins that are the central characters of the hit #Latinx #Netlix show #Gentefied. Whether you’ve seen the show or not, we know that many Latinos in the US identify with the experience of not being Mexican (or insert country of origin) enough, something that Carlos’s character Chris wrestles with in hilarious ways. Learn how Carlos brings his comedy chops to shape his Chris, aka, #guero, making him one of the most memorable characters on the show. Then, as a #calma segment, Ana Sheila shares some ways we can check-in with ourselves to better identify the activities that bring us #peace and those that can produce #anxiety so that we can do more of what we love and less of what we don’t need. We also have an important message from UnidosUS. We know that even in the best of times, making healthy decisions can be tough and the coronavirus and economic crises hitting our country isn’t going to make that any easier. As schools nationwide are closed to help stop the coronavirus, millions of children are flocking to digital platforms, exposing them to an environment where their rights and health are at risk. That’s because there is surprising way that your child’s online activity can harm their health: when food and beverage companies aggressively target them with advertisements for junk food. While many sites and platforms provide an educational lifeline and respect children’s digital rights, marketers rely on “Big Data” and digital techniques to blur the lines between content and advertisements and reach children and teens through websites, social platforms and mobile devices, making it tough for even the most involved parent to protect their kids from these practices. UnidosUS believes that the practice of targeted marketing is a major racial and health equity issue because companies specifically target children and youth of color with marketing for foods and drinks that are low in nutrition and high in sugars, salt and fats. Doing this reinforces health inequities where Latino children are more likely suffer from obesity or are more likely to develop diabetes and/or heart disease as adults. This practice is especially harmful to the nation’s Latino children. They get a “double dose” of targeted marketing in BOTH English and Spanish, increasing the number of ads designed to negatively influence their nutrition choices Tamarindo podcast is the Latinx show where hosts discuss politics, pop culture, and how to balance it all con calma, hosted by Brenda Gonzalez and Ana Sheila Victorino.

Present Over Perfect: Our Chat with Latinas Who Brunch founder Eliana Murillo Apr 22, 2020

Show notes

#PresentOverPerfect is just one of the many nuggets we took away from our conversation with Eliana Murillo, the founder of #Latinaswhobrunch, a community of badass Latinas. Many of us have grown up afraid to be truly seen or can be paralyzed from even starting to do the work we love because of fear and insecurities. On our latest episode in #thetimeofcorona, we sit down with Eliana to discuss #mindset and #self-development tools and approaches she uses to overcome insecurities, fear, and shame in order to show up most authentically and step into the work she’s called to do for others. In addition to Latinas who brunch, Eliana is the co-founder of her family's organic Tequila Alquimia company, an award-winning USDA certified 100% organic and eco-friendly product that contributes 15% of every harvest to support nonprofit causes. While working at Google, Eliana founded the multicultural marketing team, She graduated from Harvard College and was included in the Forbes 30 Under 30 List in 2017. She's originally from Oxnard, California, and has a big, beautiful Mexican family throughout Ventura County. She currently resides in LA, where she makes art, cooks and does yogatón in between meetings in quarantine.
You can catch Eliana on her personal instagram @inmyelement or leading amazing workshops and conversations on @latinaswhobrunch. We are also excited to announce our virtual storytelling workshop “Your story is your Superpower” coming up on April 30th at 6pm over zoom.

Dealing with La Rona Apr 06, 2020

Show notes

Team Tamarindo is adjusting to the #physicaldistancing with a remote episode reflecting on what this moment means to Brenda and Ana Sheila and how they are coping with #covid. We share some of the creatives that are helping us find lightness during these dark times, as well as some great resources for information, and causes to support. We also take some time to celebrate our one year #anniversary and four years of #TamarindoPodcast. For some fun creatives we’re enjoying, check out these accounts on instagram: @Latinaswhobrunch @theharrylopez @thecesarcamacho @marcellacomedy For resources for immigrant communities, check out United We Dream and specifically how #undocumented folks can access health care.
We also find the information by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) to be useful. For news, we've been liking the coverage of the LA Times and Tamarindo favorite, LA Taco. Here is a template you can use if you would like to request a rent freeze. For a worthy cause providing direct cash relief for #streetvendors in Los Angeles, please consider donating to Inclusive Action for the City’s fund. To help the #seniors in your community, you can support Meal on Wheels or sign-up to volunteer.

Latinx Voices Reflect on American Dirt (Partnership with Project Enye) Mar 23, 2020

Show notes

As distraction to the world-wide pandemic we are living through, we are releasing an episode that was created several weeks ago before any of us knew how the coronavirus would impact our daily lives. We take this opportunity to send you love, light, and courage during these hard times.
This episode of Tamarindo is a collaboration with Project Enye. This is a compilation of many #Latinx #podcasters reacting to the #AmericanDirt debacle. American Dirt is the novel released earlier this year that was widely criticized for it's racist portrayal of #Mexicans. Thanks to Mexican-American writer Myriam Gurba, the controversy behind American Dirt exposed how the publishing industry systematically silences voices from the #Latinx community. Take a listen and let us know what you think!
