  • Ep 23: Are you Latine enough? Spoiler alert you are!
    Mar 24 2024

    Welcome back to the Hand Me Down Podcast! In today’s episode, Alan & Natalia play Jeopardy, specifically, a game of "Are You Latine Enough Jeopardy?", which is followed by a discussion on why needing to constantly prove your Latinidad can become harmful and create false beliefs on unique Latin American cultures. But before getting into the ✨huevos con weenie✨of the podcast, Alan & Natalia check in with one another. First, Natalia shares that her mother sent her a care package, which leads to a discussion on hot scalp. Then, Alan shares how the HMD team went to Los Angeles’ very own Pink’s Hot Dogs, where the yummiest glizzies were devoured. Along with this excursion, the hosts share their experience in going to see their friend perform in a Broadway show! This then leads to the Jeopardy segment of the episode "Are you Latine Enough?". Finally, this game leads to the conversation of what makes you Latine enough, along with the harmful beliefs of Latinidad can be detrimental to identity. So sit back, grab a glizzy, & enjoy this episode of the podcast!
