Our mission is to redefine the word "professionalism" by empowering communities to be their authentic selves. When we are told to be professional, in many ways, we are told not to be ourselves. On this podcast, we have candid conversations and explore the conflict that we often face between being our authentic selves & "professionalism". Listen to find out who we really are...when we stop code-switching and faking it.

Jennifer Mota (here's her IG) is a Dominican-American multimedia journalist, music public scholar, multidisciplinary creative, and industry culture shifter. Mota first garnered media attention in 2019 with her article Recognizing Dominican Dembow: From Jamaica to El Alfa — the first investigated deep dive documenting Dominican dembow for U.S Latin mainstream media— highlighting the history and pioneers behind the sub-genre. Her expertise on the dembow scene scored her a monthly column in Remezcla, which she entitled “Si Tu Quiere Dembow,” as the first dembow columnist she reported on the genre’s past and present. In 2023, Remezcla included Mota in their annual Major Mujeres: Latinas Shaping the Industry list.
Throughout the years, she’s interviewed some of the most prominent Latinx artists in the world, writing for Rolling Stone, Highsnobiety, Teen Vogue, VIBE, Pitchfork, Tidal, Billboard, THE FACE, The Fader and many more. Her on-camera catalog includes platforms like Yahoo’s Live Build Series, The Fader, The Boiler Room’s “Deconstructed Series,” Rapeton, Twitch, and ABC News’s ‘The Latin Music Revolution: A Soul of a Nation Presentation’ and her visual productions and script writing have appeared on Foot Locker, Amazon Music, Afro Punk, People en Español and KEXP.
