Focus in Spanglish

¡El Playlist! volume 34 focuses on blooming with our mother tongues

Don’t sleep on these two incredibly storytellers. Roselyn Cornier and Yesenia Bocanegra are also both Puerto Rican 🇵🇷 (!!!). I don’t know how I keep unearthing these boricua voices, but I’m so excited to share them with you.

¡Wepa!

Growing Up Spanglish

Description: Growing up Spanglish is intended to be a lighthearted, joyful audio platform bringing together all corners of the Latinx diaspora. Through this podcast we aim to provide a multigenerational perspective and anecdotes on our culture, upbringing, and journey’s as a way to remind us of the similarities between us all. Because while the road that lead us here looked different for all of us, we all grew up watching Sabado Gigante y siempre "hay cominda en la casa".

Episode recommendation: Host Roselyn Cornier tackles the taboo but vitally serious topics of ex-pats, racism, and colorism within and outside of nuestra cultura with guest Shanice, an Afro-Latina of Costa Rican descent. Listen in on their discussion on Pura Vida.

Episode recommendation: while host/photographer/marketer Yesenia has a 98-episode archive of amazing resources for starting your own video podcast, the one episode with the broadest appeal is her take on foreign languages. As a boricua, she (like me) grew up speaking Spanish and English equally, but picked up French in college. Check out her relatable story in this short episode 040: Learning to Speak a Foreign Language.
