Episode 1: Conversation with Carlos Acta

Send us a Text Message and share your thoughts

Welcome to The Modern Latino Podcast, with your hosts Gene and Ivan!

Our goal is simple: have thoughtful conversations about the issues impacting our lives, highlight individuals doing great things in their communities, and finally, celebrate all of the beautiful cultures that make-up the Latino diaspora. 

We do this by keeping an open mind, trying to learn something new, and always treating each other with respect.

On this episode we have a terrific conversation with our new friend, Carlos Acta.
Carlos is a graduate of Columbia University where he majored in Political Science and International Relations. He has worked as a US - UN congressional Liaison organizing specialized briefings for Members of Congress and UN officials.  A native son of the Bronx, he is the perfect guest to help us kick-off our first episode.

We discuss the situation currently happening in the Middle East and learn about the historical events behind both sides of the war. This is a really complex subject, but hopefully you will learn something new via this discussion.
