Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, y'all, I'm Maria Fernanda. Yes, When You're Invisible is
my love letter to the working class and immigrants who
shaped my life. And now the show is back for
season two. I'm talking to amazing guests this season who
share how they see the world and what they think
would make it a better place.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
All the greatest changes have happened when a couple of
people said this sucks, let's do something about it.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
Learn the stories of workers from across the country who
feel like they've been underestimated, but they're actively working to
build community.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
It's rare to have black mail teachers. Every lesson doesn't
have to be on the front board. Sometimes I am
the lesson, and I'm also the testament.

Speaker 4 (00:40):
Cold models are broke and all your rash is trade
around and give knowledge, dice work for knowledge, dice play.

Speaker 5 (00:48):
I know we get paid to serve you guys, but
like be respectful or made out of the same things, bone, body, blood.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
We'll hear about the resiliency and strength of everyday people,
like a friend of mine who grapples with chronic illness.

Speaker 6 (01:04):
I can't have more than two thousand dollars in my
bank account or else I can't get monthly disability benefits.

They won't let you succeed.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
You'll meet people who are in the trenches day in
day out. They inspire me to be brave and to
live more fully and compassionately.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Historians go through stuff and I'm like, I don't know,
y'all going to see that. There's a lot of trans
people who did not like these bills.

Speaker 1 (01:27):

and connect with those around you, and that they remind
you that together we are powerful. Listen to when You're
