The fear is real, but so is OUR power. In this powerful and heartfelt episode, I sit down with the bold and brilliant Natalie Garcia to talk about what’s happening in our communities, what we’re feeling, and what we can actually do in the face of ICE raids, fear, and division.
You’ll hear two daughters of immigrants holding space for each other, navigating grief, rage, hope, and resilience. We discuss our responsibility as Latinas, especially those who have gained some privilege or power, and how we can stand in solidarity with our community without burning out. Whether you’re protesting in the streets or raising awareness at home, your role matters.
We talked about:
- How ICE raids are impacting families in Los Angeles
- What resistance looks like when you’re a mom or can't always be on the frontlines
- Why community care, joy, and cultural pride are forms of protest
- The upcoming July 1 nationwide boycott—and how you can participate
- Healing through storytelling, dancing, writing, and remembering where you came from
- What we need from privileged Latinas right now
- Why the antidote to fear is collective courage and connection
This episode is a reminder that you don’t need to do everything, but you do need to do something. Our joy, our stories, and our unity are la medicina. ✊🏽💛

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
