Part I: ¿Por qué mamá lo dijo? One Mother's Explanation to Why She Said So

Nerdy Latinas Podcast

In our final episode of Nerdy Latinas Podcast’s season 2, Short Latina interviewed Sabritas, her sisters, and her mother about womanhood. Sabritas and her sisters, Susana, Steph, and Sam were born and raised on the south side of Chicago, in a neighborhood called La Villita, by their parents, Aidé and Mario. This episode also includes a message by Sol Amada, a maker and activist born in Quito, Ecuador. She is the co-founder, and organizer of the Long Beach Gender, Resistance, Revolutions, Radical Liberation, or GRRRL Collective. Since 2013, she has worked with the collective to chip away at the cis-white-heteronormativity through community organizing, learning groups, QTBIPOC healing circles, and queer open mics. She is also an artist, object maker, and crafter. Currently, she is working on jewelry pieces with a political edge as she believes that jewelry has the ability to form a narrative on the body. Her work can exist simultaneously as political statements, decoratives, and functional objects. She unapologetically centers the experiences of her Latinx, QTBIPOC, immigrant, and activist communities with every piece she makes.
