How to Do More of What You Love

On this episode, we give you some insights on how to do more of what you love by sharing a bit of our own personal journeys to creating the lives we want, including spending more time in Mexico! We recorded this episode in Mexico City with special guest co-host Jose Richard Aviles aka soynalgona. Jose Richard Aviles is a multimedia artist, Urban Planner, and Social Worker based out of Los Angeles. As a former organizer, and a current artist, Aviles is interested in the intersections between space and justice, laughter and resistance, and the magic of the stage. Currently, Aviles is promoting their first published collection of poems, Semilla and developing a new poetry EP, "La Carta Que Nunca Envie" , an homage to Juan Gabriel and the countless lovers that are hidden in the lyrics. "Lo que se ve no se pregunta" - Juan Gabriel. This episode also includes the story behind La Cafetera's new song, La Sirena. In honor of Pride Month and Immigrant Heritage Month, Poder Latinx has teamed up with Human Rights Campaign and East LA-based Chicano music group Las Cafeteras to release a music video focusing on the cross-section of art, identity, and collective power of the LGBTQIA+ movement with the song “La Sirena.” Full music video for ‘La Sirena’ can be found at PoderLatinx.org/pride2021.
