About Curando Con Cultura: Pláticas Rooted in Comunidad

Curando Con Cultura: Pláticas Rooted in Comunidad is a space where storytelling becomes medicine. Moving beyond the burnout of traditional advocacy and "grand gestures," this show explores a new definition of civic engagement—one found in the simple, sacred act of holding space for one another. Through soulful pláticas, we reconnect with our heritage and the ancestral wisdom that our culture heals. Join us as we explore what it means to be deeply rooted in home, reignite our internal fires, and discover that the most powerful change often starts with the stories we share.

Driving with Purpose: Authenticity, Community, and Keeping the Auto Shop Alive with Maestro Adam Florez

Step directly into the classroom for this special, live third episode of Curando Con Cultura. Recorded amidst the raw energy, tools, and natural interruptions of a real-world shop environment, Yazmine Garcia shares space with Maestro Adam Florez—a dedicated Denver automotive instructor and mentor. Moving past traditional, rigid ideas of education, this plática explores how Adam blends his Denver roots with a passion for teaching to inspire the next generation, intentionally fostering confidence in students and young women entering a traditionally male-dominated industry. Together, they discuss the power of building lifelong relationships, navigating the challenges of remote learning, and guiding youth toward meaningful post-secondary paths. Maestro Adam shows us that teaching isn’t just a job—it’s a lifestyle rooted in values, authentic connection, and joy. Tune in to experience the living medicine of a classroom where culture heals and community is built with fun, purpose, and grease on our hands.

Stay Grounded, Stay Grateful: You Can Be a Good Ancestor Right Now.

In this first episode of Curando Con Cultura: Pláticas Rooted in Comunidad, Yazmine Garcia engages in a very meaningful and vulnerable conversation with Maestro Alan Dominguez—a devoted educator and talented filmmaker—about what it means to stay grounded in your authenticity while remaining humble and grateful.

Maestro Alan reflects on using film and the classroom as sacred spaces for the palabra, showing us that reclaiming our narratives is a form of collective medicine. This episode is a love letter to the Northside and a reminder that true leadership is rooted in love, heritage, and the courage to find your voice.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
