Announcement!

This is the Salvis Unidos Podcast Season 1 finale! We’ll be taking a short break to improve the show, gather feedback, and come up with new ideas. Don’t worry, we’ll be back soon and there’s plenty of amazing Salvadorans out there to feature. Stay tuned for updates.

“Ni de aquí ni de allá.” 

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. 

Niko is a Salvadoran business owner and cultural advocate that resides in Queens, New York. He’s the creator and moderator of the intensely popular “Cipotes” page on Instagram. Born in El Salvador and relocated to Queens, Niko understands the tribulations of belonging to two worlds and the need to build a sense of pride about where we come from.
