This week, Diosa and Mala welcome Becca Ramos to discuss her experience as a Puerto Rican in Texas, far from the diaspora cities most people associate Boricuas with. Becca is a producer on the popular podcast, Las Culturistas, but she's stepping in front of the mic with her new podcast, Welcome to El Barrio,the show she wishes she had as a kid. She talks about her conscious commitment to learning Spanish as an adult, how that's shaped (and complicated) her relationship to her own identity, and how she's championing the stories of Boricuas both on the island and in the diaspora.

This week, Diosa and Mala discuss some of the films that made them feel seen, represented, or upon rewatching can now be considered queer film cannon. They dive into explicitly queer films, like "But I'm A Cheerleader", "Quinceañera", and "Mosquita y Mari" and more subtle queer films like "Mulan" and "Y Tú Mamá También." Diosa reveals the bisexual blues she feels each Pride season and Mala offers a fun solution.
