EP 8 Am I Latina Enough? Embracing Identity, Culture & Self-Worth

Denise Soler Cox - Latinas and Breaking Free from Qué Dirán

What if the biggest thing holding you back is a story that's been passed down to you?

We talk about qué dirán, why we shrink ourselves, and what it takes to finally choose our own path instead. This one felt less like an interview and more like two women figuring it out together. I have a feeling you'll see a little bit of yourself in it, too.
