The Vulnerable Latina Podcast
This podcast is to share the journey of a first generation Latina who has broke down barriers and stereotypes regarding mental health. Vulnerable Latina validates vulnerability and narratives. As an undocumented immigrant and creator through this podcast I hope to help others and keep having conversations that make others uncomfortable but that need to be talked about to heal. Topics such as family, work, school, relationships, and many others will be discussed along with having guests.
