On this episode, learn how Latinas are changing history right before our eyes — in historical archives, inspirational pageants, and the food industry.
Imagine a museum dedicated to the history of Bexar County, led by an 11th-generation San Antonian - who is the first Latina to head up that museum. We talk with Belinda Mora Gavellos - Chair of the Bexar County Historical Commission - to learn about this historical role and the history she is working to preserve.
There was a time when beauty pageants focused solely on physical appearance; but that era is now one for the history books. Today, pageants like Miss Texas Latina celebrate Hispanic culture, empowerment, and community involvement. We meet Ms. Texas Latina 2024 Allegra Rodriguez and learn that, beyond her beauty, she is an inspiration in the world of science and technology.
Finally, many people celebrate their family history through food - gathering around the kitchen table to enjoy cherished family recipes. Entrepreneur Maria Flores wanted to honor her heritage by sharing her traditions through her company, Hess Street Foods. She speaks with Jessie Degollado about how she carved out her space in a highly competitive industry.

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.
