Que onda raza! Esta semana me senté a platicar con Martha Díaz, the founder and CEO (la dueña y señora) of Itacate — Latin Backpacking Meals. Itacate es una empresa que introduce al mercado de camping y backpacking latino foods pa’ to-go!
In this episode we spoke about her upbringing in Mexico, her family migrating to the US when she was 10, su relación con el outdoors, and her launching of Itacate.
By the way, the word Itacate viene del Náhuatl, el lenguaje que hablaban los Aztecas. Specifically from the word Itacatl which means the food that you take on a journey.
Pueden encontrar y comprar las comidas de Itacate en Itacatefoods.com or at certain REI stores or REI's website. Go give them a follow on instagram @Itacate_outdoors and support their mission.
I am curious — what are other brands you know that are breaking patterns and orgullosamente representing the Latino Market in spaces where we historically have not been?
DM me on IG or email those brands at quetetomas.contacto@gmail.com.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
