Las Manas Podcast show

Summary: Co-hosts, Maricela and Micaela, talk about their unique and complex experiences navigating their world thinking and speaking in two different languages and being immersed in the Mexican and Tejano cultures. They talk about how they were expected to speak Spanish at home and what outside influences kept them rooted in the language. Join Las Manas to learn about the racism their family faced when speaking Spanish at school, how bilingual employees are not being compensated for translating or interpreting in the work spaces, and how the Spanish language is slowly being lost throughout generations.
