The Power of Heart _ Creator of "Hell@ Latina" Podcast / Odalys Jasmine Garcia Arce
Nov 6, 202100:54:17Tap to summarizeOdalys’s passion is to share the different sides of different Latinos from all over the world. It is this reason she began her amazing podcast Hell@ Latina! She sheds light and with her various amazing guests peels the onion of “latinidad” – we are NOT all the same. I have followed Odalys’s journey and I’ve seen her come into her own. She openly speaks about her parent’s immigrant story from Honduras. She speaks about how she felt like an outsider as kid from Honduran background in a primarily Mexican part of the world. How she was homeless and how even her beautiful name “Odalys” was hidden for many years. Through all of her life she has been observing, her heart taking note details of struggle and at a very young age makes sense of them. Her podcast helps all of us make sense of so much. Enjoy our talk and here is her podcast https://open.spotify.com/episode/7vcyxUhQ2sg7DJGq1XR0LR?si=KV2Ru_UXRte4mfBNiNJp3A Peace and Love everyone.

Oct 4, 202100:44:44Tap to summarizeFernando’s family came to the U.S.A. from Costa Rica. He speaks to us about how not all immigrants come here in poverty.
