Episode #7: Caroline Gómez-Tom on Health Insurance, Outcomes, and Latino Well-Being

In this episode of Raíces y Realidades, we sit down with Milwaukee County Supervisor Caroline Gómez-Tom—who also serves with Covering Wisconsin—to talk about one of the most important issues facing the Latino community: health. We unpack the data around insurance coverage, why Latinos remain among the least insured groups in Wisconsin, and what that means for long-term health outcomes. But we go further—because having insurance doesn’t guarantee access, quality care, or good health. Caroline shares what needs to change, what’s working, and how we can move from coverage to real care. Tune in for a grounded, practical conversation about health equity and the future of Latino well-being in our region.

Episode #6: Brian Troyer on Demographics, Degrees, and Latino Student Success

In this episode of Raíces y Realidades, we sit down with Brian Troyer, Vice President for Enrollment at Marquette University, to talk about the future of higher education—and why Latino students are at the center of it. By 2040, Latinos will make up 36% of the college-age population. That’s a major opportunity—and a major responsibility—for colleges and universities across the country. Increasing the number of Latinos with college degrees isn’t just important for Latinos—it’s essential for our region’s long-term success. Brian shares how Marquette has become a leader in Latino student retention and graduation—and what it takes to support students from enrollment to degree. Tune in for a conversation about data, strategy, and how we can all play a role in building a stronger, more educated Latino future.

In this episode of Raíces y Realidades, we sit down with Laura Arce, Senior Vice President for Economic Initiatives at UnidosUS and the architect behind the HOME—Home Ownership Means Equity—initiative. We talk about what homeownership really means for Latino families, why Milwaukee is behind the national average, and the promising signs of progress already happening in the region. Laura shares both the data and the hope, offering a national perspective with real relevance for local action. If you care about closing the racial wealth gap, building economic opportunity, and seeing more Latino families thrive in Milwaukee, this conversation is for you. Listen now and learn why homeownership isn’t just about houses—it’s about equity, stability, and the future of our communities.

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.
