This Mordida is our contribution to "Remembering El Divo de Juarez", a panel discussion organized by Juan Fernandez, Master's Student in Media Studies + Social Change at Queens College NYC and The Advocate news editor Yezmin Villarreal recently at Cal State LA. Listen as we discuss Juanga's legacy, history and the role he plays now in the Latino queer community.
Health is wealth and we are broke. Babelito and FavyFav attempt to talk about self-care and the importance of maintaining a healthy mind, body and soul...but instead they talk about chaufa, ranch dressing, cigarettes and La Llorona.
Recorded during their holiday break, Babelito's old pal, Juan Samperio, joins LWL to talk about mantequilla, DC, teaching the children and more!
In this episode, Madalena Salazar, Principal of 3rd Space Vision, stops by to discuss the complexities of New Mexican Chicano identity. Babelito and FavyFav learn about brujxs, Northern New Mexico Hispanos, and crispy chile rellenos, as they question re-appropiation within their own communities.
