Found In Translation Episode 328: Host Ray Collazo is joined by special co-hosts Margo Porras of the “Books vs. Movies” Podcast and ‘The Cuban Lion’ Nissim Leon for a very special two part show live from the Por Vida Café in the Barrio Logan/Chicano Park community of San Diego. Porras shares the legacy of Chicano Park and how it symbolizes the history of resistance and community for Latinos in San Diego.
Max Gonzales of Chicanos Por La Causa in Phoenix, Arizona joins the crew to discuss the shared history of community building, culture and political awareness between San Diego, Phoenix and Los Angeles. The owners of the Por Vida Café, Carolina and Mylo, also stop in to discuss what the Barrio Logan business corridor means for their families. Carolina and Mylo are true inspirations for activists and young entrepreneurs. As Carolina said, “the time is always now.”
Collazo, Porras and Leon share what this unique moment in San Diego should teach all of us about the power of podcasting and the legacy of Erik Estrada.
