Latinas. We love Madonna, but also Celia Gruz. We devour
our mom's homematamalis or pupusas, but we can't wait to
order our cappuccinos and avocado toast. We are the two
hundred percenters, one percent American and one hundred percent proudly Latina.

Many times we find ourselves living in two parallel worlds,
navigating cultures whose values sometimes clash. Yet we are expected
to thrive in both through fun, yet intimate and revealing conversations.
Latinas take the lead with me. Naivenoso will dive into
issues us modern Latina's face. Our dynamic and diverse guests

our community. Like astronat, you have to ask yourself two questions,
who are you truly? Who who are you? And what
do you want? Entrepreneurs like Sandravela Skiss from Novalira, what
I wanted to do was to create a high in

Latina start twenty percent of the population, and yet I
don't see any premium Latina brands on shelves. Money experts.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
