We’re back — and we’re not easing in.
In the Season 2 premiere of My Brain Está Spicy, Melisa and Christy speak openly, urgently, and unfiltered about the state of things: the unraveling of democracy, the rage of watching history repeat itself, and the heartbreak of silence from those who should know better.
This episode is about immigration, fascism, human decency, and how we find our voices again when everything feels unsafe. It’s not cute. It’s not polished. It’s exactly what needed to be said.
If you’ve felt grief, rage, fear, or that pit in your stomach watching the news — this one’s for you.
“Silence and complacency does not disqualify you from feeding into the system. Because your silence is exactly what they want.” — Melisa
