Bamby Salcedo is a trans immigrant rights leader and activist and founder of the Translatin@ Coalition. She has been an incredible force in the immigrant rights movement, highlighting the marginalized voices of trans folks within and outside of the movement. Bamby joined us this week and we discussed her life, the fight, and how to keep pushing for trans rights. Grap your tissues for this one as well. 

Trigger warning: we discuss physical, emotional, and psychological violence against trans women.

season 2 ep 4 - translatina queen bamby salcedo

felices fiestas beybiisss! this is long one because you all know 2019 tried us all! this year was triggering, transformative and a whole ass mess. but not all was traumatic. we also had many diamonds along the way, like the start of this podcast, the launch of new projects and start of new relationships. and since it's the end of a decade, we cast back to 2009 to revisit our younger selves as teens, well at least for danyeli. please don't come for us and our music choices, taylor swift and lady gaga have a special place in our hearts. we also set sights on 2020 and the new adventures that await. 2020 will be year of action. 

we also discuss the release of periódicos de ayer, danyeli's new book and get the exclusive first listen to "sin embargo" a beautiful song written by leonel salgado (undocubae's 18-year old nephew). catch our palabras del dia featuring our beloved toni morrison and two of our listeners (raquel and gabriela) who left us touching messages and reviews.
