In honor of Mexican Independence Day and Hispanic Heritage Month, we tackle the pressing issues of colorism, fatphobia, ableism, and internalized racism within the Latinx community. We discuss how these forms of discrimination intersect and impact not only mental health and self-esteem, but also contribute to bullying and marginalization, like in the case of content creator Shawty Bae.
Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of these interconnected issues and hear actionable strategies for fostering a more inclusive environment. Join us for a powerful discussion that encourages self-reflection and solidarity in dismantling these injustices.
