Latinx On The Rise

In today's episode I talk a briefly about a group reading I did with AJ Barrera. It was my first time connecting with the other side and it was so excited to be able to hear from her. I also cover the recent vendor attacks that have been happening across the US. I've been seeing a lot of street vendors attacked lately. It's disgusting behavior that has made me wonder who could possibly harm these vendors. On Sunday June 27th, at 1pm there is the 1st annual vendor market going on at Mariachi plaza.A San Diego High School basketball coach has been fired after orchestrating a racist prank after a game against a predominately Latino team. Racism has advanced and become more difficult to uncover. I also urge everyone to listen to my Sylvia Rivera episode with Sammy Nemir. I feel like we need to learn more BIPOC and LGBTQIA histories. Britney Spears has been in a long standing conservatorship that she pushed back on this past Wednesday. I talk a bit about how sexism has played a role in the control she has faced.
