In this episode, we talk about religion and spirituality with Kim Guerra, author and creator of the Latinx empowerment platform @brownbadassbonita. The global pandemic and political climate may have many of us leaning into spiritual practices as a source of strength and grounding. Many organized religions have at times been used to oppress, wage wars, and control people. Unfortunately, even today many religions continue to hurt and ostracized members of the LGBTQ community. That is why this episode centers the experiences and spiritual journeys of Kim and Ana Sheila, who both identify as spiritual and queer, as they share their relationship with religion and spirituality. More about our guest: Kim Guerra is an artist, writer, and entrepreneur. She is the creator of #BrownBadassBonita, a brand and movement she considers a revolutionary act of self love and love for our Latinx community. She was recently recognized as an “Agente de Cambio” at Univision’s Premios Juventud and has a masters in marriage and family therapy. Learn more at brownbadassbonita.com
