Resilient Muchachas Podcast: Recent Episodes

Edith & Karina

Welcome to our podcast Resilient Muchachas. We are your hosts Edith & Karina. We are creating a space to talk about things we care about. The ultimate goal is to help the community and learn along the way.

We want this to be relatable to hispanic/latinos growing up in the U.S. but we will be speaking from our Mexican American experience. This is an ode to the complexities of what it means to be a child of immigrants, raised in the United States and how our cultures and intersectional identities blend to make us who we are.

A new episode on Mondays!
