I saw a man walking around my terminal playing a flute for 40min and was losing my mind because I thought it was André 3000. And then it WAS André 3000!!! 😍😍😍😭😭
I just got off the phone with Guillermo Martinez the man who made Andres's beautiful flute. It's a Mayan double flute. He and his shop are doing incredible work by keeping the music if indigenous North American communities alive. Here is his website:

Of course I didn’t say anything good. Now I’m like... I should’ve talked about how good his verse on Solo is. And how my mom once had a dream he taught our family to dance the hey ya dance and we had achieved the American Dream. W/E NO REGRETS

listeners. I have a very important question this related to an upcoming story: What Latinx books were you assigned in class growing up? For me it was The House on Mango Street, Like Water for Chocolate, and When I was Puerto Rican.

episode about chisme. So I am looking for good chisme stories - not chisme itself (altho feel free to dm me anything good) - but rather stories ABOUT chisme. Has it saved your life? Someone in your family is best chismosx
Here it is! There has been a lot of great commentary on inequity in the publishing industry and the cartoonish depiction of migrants but what stood out to me most from producing this piece was how overtly American Dirt was written for the white gaze.

Four months into living in LA and one thing has become abundantly clear... there is nothing people here care about more than grocery shopping. 8 stores stand before me, but only one can be crowned LA's favorite grocery store 🫐🍊🍑🥥🥦🍤🥩🍝

So true. It blows my mind to think Beyoncé and Britney Spears are only 2 months apart in age. Beyoncé was singing Bills Bills Bills when Britney was wearing pigtails for Hit me Baby.
The more I keep getting an instagram to join a sweepstakes to win a double date with Shakira and Gerard Pique, the more convinced I am that this is the answer to all my problems

Happy pub day to

My actual dream is to produce an episode of Imperfect Paradise that reveals how this ad got made. Like what were the convos that led to this incredible artifact. Would appreciate any leads
This is shocking. My father’s family had to escape Argentina in the 80’s because there was a right wing military dictatorship that was targeted anyone suspected of being a socialist and putting innocent families into concentration camps and throwing people out of planes.
I was considering deleting my fbook because I never check it. But I logged in this morning and saw these two messages and I can’t give up this quality abuelos self esteem boosting content.
