Luis Humberto Chaidez is a first generation latino, historian, and educator. On trend with the latest episode, Luis and I met through Aileen. I look forward to seeing him at social gatherings because I almost always learn something new about world history.
He joined the podcast to talk about the patriarchy, and the ways in which he shows up as a man for his students, and in his personal relationships. We talked about the times in our past when we felt shame about our latino roots, the impact that religion had on our early adulthood, our complex relationships with our parents, and the work that we do in our own lives to chip away at the patriarchal bullshit that inevitably shows up from time to time. It's an excellent conversation. We both admitted to having cry playlists, and we even tell the story of Luis being a hero during one of our most recent hangouts.
