Hi Paletitas! This week, we're sitting down with a beloved friend of Las Paleteras and a powerhouse musician—Ms. Yaya Vasquez Lopez. In this heartfelt (and hella fun) episode, Yaya opens up about her journey as a trans woman: from embracing the magic of a chosen name to reclaiming her space, voice, and joy. Get ready to laugh, cry, and maybe even feel a little jealous - because once you meet Yaya, you'll wish she was your bestie too.

Las Paleteras is a spicy, energetic, and mindful podcast hosted by Los Angeles based queer Latinx artists Cesar Camacho, Ana Sheila, and Jose Richard Aviles alias Nalgona.

They are challenging systems, the status quo, and themselves, pero siempre con cariño! 

Join them for a podcast that's like a Paleta para tus oidos - joyful, vibrant, y bien sabrosa. 

Las Paleteras is produced by Joel Ruiz and Elpidio Perez along with the hosts. Editorial support from Augusto Martinez, Music by Cinthya Morado and Ingrid Guijarro and additional visual support from Chavelita. Special thanks to our friends at mitú and Sonoro Media for distribution and production support.
