In this episode of Growing Up Brooklyn, we chop it up with Wilfredo Otero, the voice behind the Stuck In My Mind Podcast and a proud son of East New York.

Wilfredo’s East New York roots and upbringing
The challenges and triumphs of growing up in the '90s
How podcasting became his therapy and platform
Building community through real conversations and self-expression
