Soundproof Creatives Podcast is a biweekly discussion hosted by Angela Lawrence, a spoken word artist, writer, and radio personality, talking about creative beginnings, navigating through challenges, and breaking barriers. This podcast is a conversation starter and leads the listener to begin their artistic journey.

This week we talked with Yesika Salgado, a Los Angeles based Salvadoran poet who writes about her family, her culture, her city, and her fat brown body. Salgado is a two time National Poetry Slam finalist and the recipient of the 2020 International Latino Book Award in Poetry. Her work has been featured in the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Teen Vogue, Univision, CNN, NPR, and many other platforms. She is an internationally recognized body-positive activist and the writer of the column Suelta for Remezcla. Yesika is the author of the best-sellers Corazón, Tesoro, and Hermosa, published with Not a Cult.

Angela and Yesika talk about writing as a way to make sense of your story, how all success looks different, and what it's like learning to believe in your work and ultimately believe in yourself.
