From Loíza to the Diaspora: Culture, Politics & Allyship

In this episode, we’re taking you on a ride from Loíza to the diaspora, diving into the beats, the protests, and the pride that shape our cultura. 🎙️

We highlight the incredible work of El Concilio, a nonprofit uplifting the Boricua community, and their upcoming Hispanic Fiesta (P.S. food trucks, this is your sign 🍽️👀). We also show love to Rauw Alejandro’s “Carita Linda” video for the powerful representation of AfroBoricua culture and the beauty of Loíza.

We send our condolences to the Dominican Republic, honoring lives lost in the Jet Set nightclub tragedy, and remembering the iconic Rubby Pérez.

Then it gets real real—we talk about Shawn Mendes using his platform to show allyship during his concert in Puerto Rico, repping “Las playas son del pueblo” and featuring Boricua talent. Plus, we give props to Bad Bunny’s Tiny Desk, which lifted up fellow Puerto Rican artists in a big way.

And to wrap it up? A deep convo about politics in Puerto Rico, family dynamics, and the moment we each found our own voice in the political world.

This episode is full of heart, heritage, and heat 🔥 — don’t miss it.
