Notas del Episodio:
Este documento sintetizalos temas centrales y las percepciones clave de una entrevista con Joe Pier, un profesional de los medios de comunicación con una extensa carrera en fotografía, cine y televisión, quien ahora reside en San Felipe, BajaCalifornia y es el productor de la revista “The Breeze”. Nacido en la Ciudad deMéxico de padres norteamericanos, Joe describe una trayectoria vital que él mismo califica como "completar el círculo de la vida" al regresar a su país de origen.
Los puntos más críticosde su carrera incluyen su participación en la cobertura de los Juegos Olímpicosde 1968, donde manejó el rollo de película de la icónica fotografía del saludo"black power"; una carrera de 15 años en la televisión canadiense; y proyectos internacionales que lo llevaron a entrevistar a figuras como Fidel Castro y a trabajar en producciones de alto perfil, lo que le valió cuatronominaciones al premio Emmy.
Actualmente, Joe es el editor de "The Breeze", una revista comunitaria gratuita en SanFelipe, un proyecto que persigue por pasión más que por beneficio económico,enfocado en contar las historias de la gente local. Su perspectiva sobre la vida en San Felipe es de aprecio por la tranquilidad y la comunidad, aun que señala la necesidad de una mayor armonía entre los residentes y sugiere la conveniencia de un aeropuerto para facilitar el acceso. Su consejo fundamental para quienes consideran mudarse a la zona es alquilar una propiedad antes de invertir, para así conocer a fondo las diferentes comunidades y encontrar el lugar adecuado.

Show Notes:
Welcome back to Turn Left at the Cactus, the podcast where we explore life, culture, and community in San Felipe, Baja, Mexico.
Today’s guest is someone who truly embodies the spirit of this town — Jackie Kamasho. Jackie was born just up the road in Mexicali but has lived her entire life here in San Felipe. A proud mother of three and a grandmother, Jackie has roots that run deep through this community.
She’s worn many hats over the years — teacher, cultural coordinator, postal worker, even a brewery employee — all while raising her family and earning a degree in communications from UABC. Her story is one of resilience, joy, and heart.
What makes Jackie’s story especially compelling for our expat and snowbird listeners is the perspective she offers — someone who has seen San Felipe grow from a small fishing village to a bustling blend of locals and foreigners. Jackie talks openly about the challenges of raising children with specialneeds, renovating a home downtown, and the deep gratitude she feels toward the foreign community that she says has "helped increase our quality of life."
She's insightful, funny, and completely unfiltered. Whether you’ve just arrived in San Felipe or have been wintering here for years, Jackie’s stories — from fish taco favorites to advice on blending into Mexican culture — are full of warmth and wisdom.
Stick around — you don’t want to miss this conversation.
Thanks for listening!

Bienvenidos de nuevo a Turn Left at the Cactus, el podcast donde exploramos la vida, la cultura y la comunidad de San Felipe, Baja California. Hoy nos acompaña una invitada muy especial: Jackie Kamasho. Aunque nació en Mexicali —porque San Felipe no tenía instalaciones para cesáreas, y aún no las tiene— Jackie ha vivido toda su vida aquí, en este hermoso puerto. Es madre de tres hijos, abuela orgullosa, y una mujer con un fuerte arraigo en la comunidad.
Con una trayectoria diversa, Jackie ha sido maestra, organizadora de eventos culturales, trabajadora postal y más — todo mientras estudiaba y criaba a su familia. Es la primera mujer de su familia materna en obtener un título universitario, lo cual logró con gran esfuerzo y dedicación. Lo que hace que su historia resuene tanto con nuestra audiencia —especialmente con expatriados y snowbirds— es su mirada local y honesta sobre los cambios en San Felipe: desde sus días tranquilos hasta los desafíos del crecimiento poblacional, el turismo, y la integración cultural. Jackie también comparte momentos personales muy profundos, como el cuidado de sus hijos con necesidades especiales y su agradecimiento sincero hacia la comunidad extranjera que ha brindado apoyo constante. Es directa, divertida y sumamente real. Si vives en San Felipe o solo vienes cada invierno, esta conversación te va a inspirar, informar… y quizás hacertereír.
¡No te la pierdas!
