Independence in Times of Oppression

Hola reinas! Welcome back to Latina Sin Límites, the podcast created and hosted by me, Vanessa Rae Alonso, your Latina mentor, to guide you hacia tus sueños y más allá.

As Latino Heritage Month begins, I want to reflect on what independence means for us right now, living, dreaming, and resisting in a time of oppression. For some of us, freedom looks like starting a business or sending our kids to good schools. For others, it’s simply the right to feel safe at home. And for our undocumented hermanas, it may mean courage, comunidad, or knowing your rights.

In this season finale, I share why hiding who we are doesn’t protect us, it only erases our magia. Our freedom grows stronger when we protect each other. Because when we stand tall in our raíces, our colors, and our truth, we bloom sin límites. 

“If you dim your light, your magic, there is nothing left to turn up.” – Vanessa Rae Alonso

• What independence can look like for Latinas today.
