From ancient Greece to the algorithm, nothing's changed. Power doesn't sit in palaces anymore; it lives behind a paywall. In this episode of Fluent AF, we dive into how desire, attention and influence shape the modern world. From rings lights to revolutions, we explore why the real global language isn't English, Spanish, or Mandarin... it's visibility.
Bold and dangerously honest.
What happens when the people who hold attention decide to go silent?
Listen.

Before grammar was rules on a page, it was a manual for magic.
Before spelling meant writing letters, it meant casting energy into form.
In this episode, we step into the shadows to explore the ancient link between language and brujeria. From latin roots of grammar and grimoire to the sacred tongues that spoke the universe into being.
We trace how "Let there be light" became the first spell even spoken, how Abracadabra literally mean "I create as I speak" and how our midern affirmations and slogans still follow the same rhythm of ritual.
It's spiritual. It's linguistic alchemy.
Go listen!
remember: every word is a spell.

Words can cut. Words can heal. In this episode of Fluent AF, we explore the power of healing language; from forgiveness and silence to breaking generational cycles and choosing not to pass pain forward.
We unpack aggressive language, the weight of words inherited from our families, and how mirroring shapes the way we speak to partners, children and ourselves. Healing language isn't about being perfect. It's about choosing restraint, reflection, and courage.
Because forgiveness isn't forgetting; it's deciding to heal and not bleed on the people who didn't cut us. <3
Tune in, reflect, and share with someone who needs it.

Accents are passports. They can open doors or slam them shut. From Latin American Spanglish in Miami to British RP in the boardroom, accents aren't just sounds; they're social keys that unlock cultural currency. In this episode of Fluent AF, we break down how accents shape identity, power and access. Funny, Sharp, and hella entertaining, this is language stripped to its essence.
In just 4 minutes, we’re diving headfirst into the unexpected wisdom of the animal world, from the flutter of a butterfly’s wing to the skitter of a roach, the stillness of a spoonbill, and even the quiet codes of grasshoppers, mice, and more.
What do these creatures really symbolize?
We’re talking transformation, survival, intuition, and emotional clarity, all decoded through nature’s original language.
It’s weird. It’s wild. And it might just rewire how you hear the world around you.
Fast. Symbolic. Fluent AF.
TUNE IN!

Time is undefeated but how we measure it, fight it, and flow with it depends on where we come from.
From Swiss punctuality to Miami “5 minutes,” from Indigenous cycles to Scandinavian survival, this episode of Fluent AF explores how cultures bend the clock and how we try to Botox, filler, and filter our way out of aging.
Language plays its part too: English says we “waste” or “kill” time, Spanish lets it pass, French invites us to take it. The words we use literally frame how we live, and how we see our faces change in the mirror.
Join me for Episode 9: The Fight Against Time; where culture, language, and a little Miami glow meet.
Beyond Hemmingway takes you south of the tourist trail-into Huila's ( Colombia) forgotten novels, Eustasio Rivera's (writer) haunted death in New York, and the voices of women and ancestors who rewrote the continent in silence. From St. Augustine, FL to San Agustin, from hummingbirds to herons, this is Latin America's underground canon; waiting to be read, remembered, and reborn.
Ever forget a word, a recipe, or your own voice in a room? Same. In this soul-soaked episode, we’re talking language loss across generations, the ancestral memory simmering in your abuelas rice, and the power (and struggle) of neurodivergent brains in a loud, forgetful world. It’s giving storytelling with ASMR edges, language, identity, memory, abuela’s rice as time travel and a sprinkle of real-talk from the polyglot trenches.
If you’ve ever felt “too much”, too sensitive, or like your brain runs a different software—this one’s your mirror.
Slang isn’t how we speak…it’s how we know who we are.
In this follow-up to Pt. Uno, we go deeper into slang as code, culture, and straight-up survival. From immigrant roots to prison walls to viral scrolls, slang keeps us safe, seen, and spicy; we’re talkin’: Spanglish + Miami AF (dale).
Slang as a compass, a shield and a clapback. And yes, why “he gave me the ick” is elite linguistics
It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s Fluent AF.
Hit play
#slang
7,000 languages. 7,000 ways to scream, whisper, or roll your eyes in “WTF.”
From “no mames” to “mais c’est pas possible,” this one’s for anyone who’s ever felt lost in translation… or gloriously found.
Welcome to Fluent AF, Episode 5.
If you’ve ever said “jit,” “yo fam,” “that slaps,” or “it’s giving…welcome home.
This episode’s for anyone who’s ever been confused, felt cool for a second, or just wants to know why their 12-year-old cousin calls everything mid.
Slang ain’t just talk…it’s home, identity, and a little bit of disrespect in one word.
We're breaking down where slang comes from, who gets to use it, and why it hits different depending on where you're from and who you're with. Miami, youth culture, code-switching...It's all in here.
From Zoom calls with your professional voice to dropping Spanglish and shade at brunch, this episode spills the tea on why we switch up how we talk and who we're doing it for. We're talking identity, power, protection, and the art of linguistic shapeshifting.
Plus, a little chisme (gossip), and straight-up sass!
Let's decode the code-switch.

In this episode we’re diving into what science says about multilingual minds. Turns out, your brain on languages is pretty Fluent AF.
From childhood language exposure to adult code-switching superpowers, we're talking memory, identity, and how your brain throws a little party every time you roll your Rs.
This one's for anyone who's ever forgotten a word in every language they speak.
Let's get into it!
Your accent, your slang, your worldview…it’s all connected. Let’s unpack it!
In this very first Episode of Fluent AF, we're diving into the intersections of language, culture and identity.
Why do you sound different around your abuela than around your coworkers? What does your language say about where you're from or where you're headed?
From Spanglish to subtle shade, this episode sets the vibe for everything to come.
Let's talk that shapes us.
