In this episode, we talk with Dr. Lizbeth De La Cruz Santana; cultural worker, muralist, and creator of The Humanizing Deportation Archive. Together, we explore how art becomes a tool for survival, memory, and resistance at the U.S.–Mexico border. We reflect on silence, storytelling, and the power of artivism to challenge dominant narratives of migration and belonging; connecting these border stories to shared immigrant experiences across the Americas.

This conversation feels like one of those long hangouts with close friends; we laugh, dive deep into identity and intersectionality, talk about growing up across generations, and of course… end up talking about food (because what’s a Central American convo without plátanos?)
