State of the Arts Episode 252: The Hispanic Heritage Month Special is now available on Spotify! This week I gladly welcome back return guests Naida Sanchez and Brandy Renée Baker to my podcast for this special episode. Along with my guest-cohosts Calvin and Cathy Sampson, I conduct this commemorative celebration of one of the most important times of the year. Naida who is a security guard, model and mother of two adorable boys discusses her Peruvian heritage and the beauty of her culture. Brandy has many Puerto Rican relatives who travel to the lovely island for visits regularly. My two guests have an unbreakable bond and heartwarming friendship that we also speak of on this tender episode. Naida’s boyfriend Hilberson Vasquez who is of Dominican heritage makes a brief appearance as well. It’s an honor to have all these wonderful guests on State of the Arts this week.
