Tata me preguntó y me guía: From Thesis to Hustle

This episode is for my nieces, my nephews, and anyone out there trying to build something real from scratch.

When I started Llámame Anything, it wasn’t about going viral. It was a continuation of my master’s thesis—my way of processing identity, power, culture, and technology while preparing for a PhD and surviving in Miami. I was a first-gen college student, a Posse Scholar, and a kid from a single-parent household navigating grief, trauma, and ambition all at once.

Now, this podcast is so much more. It’s my voice, my work, my rent money, my resistance. It’s how I went from theory to income, from silence to storytelling, from burnout to business.

In this episode, I share how Llámame Anything became a survival guide—for myself and for the people I love. Especially the ones who call me Tata.

 

In this episode, I talk about:

• How my academic work turned into a creative business
• Why I created this podcast as a love letter and guide
• The trauma I survived (and how I’m healing while building)
• The meaning of visibility, vulnerability, and voice
• My evolving mission for Llámame Anything

If you’ve ever felt too sensitive, too smart, or too late to start… this is for you.
