We first discuss Dolores Huerta and Cesar Chavez in light of revelations that he was a sexual predator. We check in on how we’re feeling and acknowledge the bravery of Dolores Huerta and all survivors of sexual assault.

Next, we’re joined by Mirtle Peña-Calderón and Ashley K. Stoyanov Ojeda, authors of The Book of Awesome Latinas. Together we discuss the inspiration behind their book, the process of researching extraordinary Latina women across history, and the importance of documenting stories that have too often been overlooked.

The conversation explores representation, cultural pride, and the powerful legacy of Latinas who have shaped art, science, activism, and leadership across generations.
