While Diosa and Mala were arriving to the studio, the news broke that civil rights leader and feminist icon, Dolores Huerta died. Together, they touched on her lifelong commitment to the labor movement and civic engagement. In March of this year, Huerta came forward as a survivor of sexual assault by farmworker leader and UFW co-founder, Cesar Chavez. Diosa and Mala reflect on the unfathomable sacrifice she made to "not hurt the movement" and how so many of us were impacted by her years of service.  Editorial Note: This episode misstates the name of Dolores Huerta's daughter, Juanita Chavez. Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/locatora_productionsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This week, Diosa and Mala review Latin American folklore like El Cucuy and La Llorona and what the tales meant to scare small children reveal about the culture. They also dive into the mid-aughts resurgence of vampires and how Stephanie Meyer's Twilight transformed the scary vampire figure into the chaste, romantic boyfriend. In true Locatora fashion, they comment about the real horrors of girlhood, womanhood, and how we persevere anyway. Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/locatora_productionsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This week Diosa and Mala discuss why it's so common for women, especially Latinas, to be misdiagnosed or under-diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). They're joined by Angelica Diaz, an associate marriage and family therapist, who specializes in late-diagnosis of autism and ADHD in the Latine community. Together they discuss how marianismo and machismo are partly why Latinas get under-diagnosed.  Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/locatora_productionsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This week, Diosa and Mala discuss the Gothic Latinas they love, how Latina actresses in horror films are subverting the Spicy Latina trope, and why online hatred of women is so cliché. They also dive into the meaning of culture wars, our community's affinity for horror, and why the comment section gives them emotional whiplash. Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/locatora_productionsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
