Being a Woman. Being Black. Being Latina

What does it mean to exist at the intersection of race, gender, and culture while still be expected to remain quiet?In this episode of Miss Opinionated, we hold an honest and necessary conversation about the lived experiences of women of color. Joined by a Latina woman from Panama and a Black woman from Louisiana, and grounded in my own experience as a mixed-race woman; Black, Mexican, and Indigenous American. We explore how women of color are consistently silenced, overlooked, and used as testing grounds in medical, social, and academic spaces.We discuss colorism and texturism within our communities, the personal and generational impact they carry, and the emotional toll of being extraordinary yet rarely recognized. From overlooked inventions to uncredited labor, this episode reflects on how women of color continue to shape the world while being denied the visibility and praise given to their white counterparts.This conversation is reflective, critical, and rooted in truth centering lived experience, cultural memory, and the power of naming what has long been ignored.Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/giulio-fazio/flamingo-dance-in-loveLicense code: VACIYA6LRUPB4N0X
