In this special episode, I chat with Candice Pedraza Yamnitz—author, speaker, dual language educator, and homeschool mama. Raised in a home blending Puerto Rican, Mexican, and American cultures, Candice brings a unique "Latin twist" to her writing and teaching.
We talk about:
- Growing up bilingual and bicultural
- The books that shaped her childhood
- Her journey into dual language education
- What a dual language classroom really looks like
- How she became a young adult author
- The inspiration behind Unbetrothed and Ruthless
- Her process for weaving culture into fiction
- Encouragement for parents raising bilingual children
Candice’s story is full of imagination, cultural pride, and heart.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
