Episode Details

We have another stellar podcast episode for you, as we have two outstanding guests this week. Dee Lara O'Neal and Nydia Cardenas are Latinx women who grew up in Fort Worth, Texas, and have traveled with a plethora of knowledge and perspectives. We discuss the significant urgency we should all have about the Tarrant County Election Chief Position and why Marc Veasey and company are writing a letter to the federal government. We also hit the spicy drama that is going on in District 11 as Tara Maldonaldo endorses Rick Herring. Then we hit the big topic: Why some Hispanics identify with white supremacy. 

We will be off next week, so get a beverage and enjoy this meaningful and dynamic conversation. Links below:
