Are You Boricua Enough? – Identity, Galletas Culturales & Flan de Coco

Hey corillo 👋🏽

In this episode, we’re getting real about identity—like, what does it even mean to be “Boricua enough?” Whether you grew up in PR, the Bronx, Camden, or Atlanta… that question hits different, especially if you’ve ever felt like you don’t “look,” “sound,” or “act” Puerto Rican enough for other people.

We’re joined by our brilliant amiga and listener-turned-guest Jordine Moore (aka La Madrina 👑), and she gets deep about finding out she was 100% Puerto Rican as an adult, navigating an identity crisis, and dealing with people who question her heritage because she doesn’t speak fluent Spanish. 💔 Pero guess what? She’s Boricua. Period.

We also break down: 🎤 The influencer Flan de Coco and that wild clip on machismo
⚡️ The power of Casa Pueblo & community-led energy solutions
🎵 Music as identity, spirituality, and affirmation
🤯 Why cultural gatekeeping in our own communities gotta stop

If you’ve ever felt in-between, questioned your roots, or just wanna feel hella seen—this one’s for you.
