Brenda Gonzalez started the Tamarindo Podcast in 2016 because she wanted a casual, chisme-with-your-girlfriend space for Latina political commentary. Nearly 10 years later, she's built retreats, workshops, a fitness practice — and a community that crosses borders.

So much love and solidarity to Ana Murguia, Debra Rojas, Dolores Huerta, and every other survivor. Chavez was just a man; women like them, then and now, are the true heroes of the farmworkers’ movement.

Published this timely piece on navigating SA in labor organizing spaces. Shoutout to the campesinas that spoke to me about their experiences 💐

I met Dolores Huerta in 2023. She was small in stature but made up for it in presence. I told her I was from Chicago and her eyes lit up, “I love Chicago organizers!” At the end of the night I watched her help the staff clean up: truly a woman of the people. I stand with her & the other survivors 💐

Uplifting Dolores’s words today from the podcast episode she was featured in this season. She is a woman of incredible strength and commitment—and the labor rights movement would not be what it is today without her contributions and advocacy.

Grateful to Fatima for trusting me to report her story. As of the publishing date of this story, Arturo Flores remains a sitting council member in the City of Huntington Park. lataco.com/arturo-flore...

In the latest episode of @thelatinonewsletter.org podcast I speak with @gustavoarellano.bsky.social about colorectal health! #colorectalcancerawareness

I was diagnosed with colorectal cancer at 34. What began as digestive discomfort and fatigue turned into a nine-month battle for answers, eventually leading to the colonoscopy that saved my life. #colorectalcancer 🎥 @socialprimates.bsky.social & @thelatinonewsletter.org youtu.be/P1fvBlnIO70?...

We need a mosaic movement, not fragmented ‘leftism,’ writes columnist @williamcson.bsky.social. Instead of a call for resentment-filled “unity” or traditional fronts, we can look to what former Panther, Black Liberation Army member & political prisoner Russell Maroon Shoatz called “the mosaic.”
