Today’s guest is Fabiola Santiago Hernandez, the founder and director of Mi Oaxaca, an organization committed to ensuring that Oaxaca’s cultural and culinary contributions to Indigenous Lifeways and Traditional Ecological Knowledge are attributed through narrative, educational, and economic programming. Mi Oaxaca shines a light on the systemic barriers that limit indigenous leadership and economic self-determination globally.

We also speak about Fabiola’s viral article published on LA TACO where she breaks down what was wrong about Willy Chavarría’s collaboration with Adidas promoting Guaraches and the trouble with cultural appropriation within Latine communities.

Before that, Delsy and Brenda reflect on the last six weeks of the year and share the tiny, joyful intentions they’re embracing to close out 2025 with more presence and less pressure. They talk about unexpected joys, end-of-year mood boards, and what they’re letting go of as the season shifts.
