Midwest Chicana Podcast ‘Fuego’ segment
Deanna Munoz CEO/Founder Latino Arts Foundation & co-host Edgar Palacios, Founder & CEO Latinx Education Collaborative, together again as they bring forth their Chingon style, but also ignite fire within their topics.
Fire is the symbol they use to represent the meaning of being a Latino and a Chicana Founder in KC.
Bringing to light the realness of their daily lives with their families as they also sit in board rooms fighting for their communities. Deanna and Edgar bring to the forefront the fires that they may not have started but know they must work with their communities to extinguish.
Fuego will be light, laughter, realness and the fact that we are tired, we are emotional, we are human.
