Welcome to the first episode of season 2. In this episode we talk about the potential a simple game can have in connecting people and lifting up communities. AFJA is a non-profit created by Steven Levy to harness the power of play in El Salvador and Central America. Join him and board member Diana Ruano as we talk about giving back to the homeland.
Welcome new listeners and loyal followers to the second season of Salvis Unidos Podcast.
The feeling of not belonging here nor there, a lack of positive representation of Salvadorans is what drove Niko to start Cipotes. A New York City based online community dedicated to uniting Salvadorans and showcasing our accomplishments around the world for over 7 years. In this episode, turn up that pride to eleven, embrace our accomplishments, and show off our positivity with Niko from Cipotes.
Finding yourself as a teenager is a strenuous process. It’s even harder when you have to hide the most important aspects of who you are. As a queer undocumented Salvadoran, Hazel hid the best parts of herself until theater allowed her to open up. Get artsy, don a black turtleneck, a beret, and get up on stage or behind it with Hazel Hernandez.
Karla feels most at home surrounded by family at the dinner table sharing Salvadoran food and stories. Her project SalviSoul aims to document both the recipes and the legacy of Salvadoran women. So grab a plate, share some stories, and nourish your belly and your soul with Karla Vasquez of SalviSoul!
