Speaker 1 (00:00):
I'm Emilia on this podcast. I'm taking you on a search,
a search for love. Emmy hard working Latina seeks cool,
down to earth guy swipe swipe slide. I think just
watching these TV shows with the perfect families, that's what
I wanted to be when I grew up, that traditional

(00:23):
Mexican housewife. It's hard out there for a girl to
find Mr Right. I have to meet a lot of
Mr Wrong's. He'd invite me over to have dinner with
his family. I knew he didn't tell them that it
was transgender, and I didn't know if they knew or not.
Adam said, if this question ever comes up, just denyed DNA.

(00:47):
Dating as a trans woman can be complicated, But there
were other reasons. I felt like I couldn't always beat myself.
And he's asking me things about my family, like oh,
you know, what are your parents do? And I'm like,
oh shit, shame right, because my mom's in prison. So
I right away started with a lie. It was like
a hurricane how to hit the house. George were open,

(01:09):
her safe was gone, shoes were thrown on the floor.
I learned that evening seven years old, that my grandmother
was arrested for working with the Mexican drug cartel. I
tried to cast myself as the perfect leading lady, but
that perfect version of me is kind of a figment
of my imagination. This is Crumbs, my love story. It's

(01:34):
a show about the things we set up for and
the bits of ourselves that make us who we are.
