Nanichi Oliva graces Photographer Life Check to talk about the intersection of photography, identity, and community, particularly focusing on the experiences of Afro-Puerto Rican identity as image makers in Los Angeles. Nanichi and Qurissy explore the rich tapestry of Caribbean and Afro-Latino culture, emphasizing the importance of family heritage, identity, and the evolving definitions of Blackness. They discuss the significance of silence in the creative process, the impact of language on cultural identity, and the legacy of ancestors. We didn’t have enough time to get into the image making portion but we hope this conversation still resonates.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
