Identities and Belonging: The Healing Powers of Latino Pride ft. Luis Andrés Andino
Description
We are bringing back one of our former guests on this podcast, Luis Andres Andino! He joined us a few months ago to talk about mental health and machismo, and now he is here to tell us the story of his upbringing on Buford Highway and how his childhood has shaped the work he does today. In this individual story, Luis shares with us what being different vs. feeling left out can look like. He takes us back to his time in school, as he navigated cultural differences in the US, and how people who were comfortable and proud of being Latino helped him heal his feelings of discomfort.
Luis works in the youth empowerment and education space with the Latin American Association, and a lot of his work now is informed by his experiences growing up. We have heard it before and you will hear it here again...representation matters!
