In this powerful two-part episode, Roxy and KJ sit down with Cuban-Honduran artist Coinslot, whose bold art and bolder opinions have sparked conversation across Miami and online. From growing up in the 305 to navigating the politics of identity, immigration, and social media, this episode dives deep into the personal stories and cultural tensions that shape our communities.
