Latinx On The Rise

In today's episode I speak to my dear cousin Maribel Torres about being an employee and mother during the pandemic. So many mother's specifically lost their jobs during 2020 because they were balancing work, home upkeep and caring for their children. How far are we really from the 1950s as women? I also speak about Adam Toledo and his tragic passing. I myself taught ESL in Little Village and mentored teens going into the work force. When I saw the video of Adam Toledo I saw the faces of all the kids I saw on in my work building around the neighborhood and mentored. This particular shooting hit very close to home for me and I share what that was like.
