Conferencing While Latina: Invisible on the Floor and Behind the Mic - New Episode
Making space in a room not built for us
Remember that naughty Christmas song about Grandma getting run over by a reindeer? Well, I’m not a grandma, and it wasn’t a reindeer.
But there was some running over.
Episode Description
Freshly back from speaking in Chicago at Podcast Movement Evolutions, one thing is unmistakable: the same problems that exist in a patriarchal society are equally present in male-dominated spaces. For example, at a podcasting conference.
In fact, they're magnified.
From getting run over like a speed bump to being erased from the record, it's almost like they want women—especially women of color—to be invisible. Stuck between the sometimes twin emotions of empowerment and frustration, we have a lot of work to do for representation as we explore the resilience required to claim space as Latina women in podcasting, the value of community support, and the drive to create inclusive spaces where every voice is heard and respected.
Let's explore this theme through the course of 3 (and a half) stories about what really happens onsite at conferences. And what other options we have for centering and amplifying the voices of the rest of us. Get inspired and motivated to take your own stand in this evolving industry.
