Rosaena is always dressed to the nines with her hair curled and her signature pink lipstick on. Aging hasn’t changed her desire to look beautiful. I want her to feel her best, but she’s almost 90. Doesn’t she deserve a break from putting on eyeliner to go to the grocery store?! This is one of the questions I decided to finally ask her point blank when she came with me to the recording studio. 

My abuela has lived with my family part of the year since she was in her 50s so we’ve always been close. But, this interview was an opportunity to talk about topics we don’t touch on every day - like where her beliefs about womanhood come from or her views on aging and death. We’ll also hear her life story and the many twists of fate it entails. My mom Claudia returns to the show too to help translate and to reflect with me about her mother’s life. You’re in for a silly, heartfelt, sweet, and surprising intergenerational episode!
