What happens when a cookbook becomes a vessel for cultural memory, not just recipes, but grief, migration, and resistance? Today, Salvi Soul’s Karla Vásquez returns to the podcast to break down the emotional labor behind documenting a community’s untold stories and why finishing a project can change the way you walk through the world.
