Rice and Beans & Everything In-Between

Puerto Ricans vs. Puertorriqueños

In this corner, weighing from the mainland, Puerto Ricans. And this corner, all the way from La Isla de Encanto, Puertorriqueños! In this episode we tackle what has become a sticky topic or an "arroz con culo" of a debate. Why do island born Puerto Ricans insist that those who were not born on the island are not "true" Puerto Ricans? Many "mainlanders"  are pushing back and voicing their opinions all while maintaining their love for the island despite the hate they are hearing.   You can reach me at riceandbeans4all@gmail.com and on Twitter @wepapepa

Parental Guidance Suggested: The Passing of a Parent

Parental Guidance Suggested: The Passing of a Parent is my personal thoughts on the recent passing of my mom and how can we deal with it and adjust. When a parent passes away faster than you would like, it releases and uncovers emotions that are difficult to adjust to and how do we handle them? I may not have the answers but this episode may create questions but perhaps answer some as well.  You can reach me at riceandbeans4all@gmail.com and on Twitter @wepapepa

Macho, Macho Man. I DON'T have to be a Macho.

This episode dives into the stereotype of being a  "Macho Man" and how being one is so antiquated and crazy. I talk about current "machismo" and my own experience with it. Is it needed?  Why does it seem like it has a role in today's societal issues especially with women and their own bodies. Take a listen and hopefully add to the conversation whether with me or with your own circle or friends and family.  Enjoy!

Kids: What's NOT Wrong with These Kids today!

Kids: What's NOT Wrong with These Kids today! Today's episode takes a look at what kids are doing right and and how they truly are doing the right things. I discuss my own experience with my kids and how they and others their age are doing what's right in this world. Many times we tend to critique todays kids and dismiss their ideas and passions but overall, I think they're doing a fine job; at least better than me when I was their age. I discuss my own thoughts as well as point out what these kids today are capable of doing and have done.  Ladies and Gentlemen, I think it's going to be fine!  Enjoy!
