Send us a text In this episode, Cynthia discusses the importance of visibility and taking space in the community, especially in light of recent ICE raids and the historical context of displacement, with Marilyn Mejia Peña. They explore the emotional impact on the Latino community, the ancestral resilience that informs their experiences, and the duality of grief and joy. The conversation emphasizes the need for awareness, the significance of cultural identity, and the healing power of nature and community. They also touch on the role of music and creative expression as forms of resistance and healing. Thanks to Marilyn Mejia Peña of Resilience Social Work Inc for her time, wisdom and art in times of darkness. You can find more ways to work with Marilyn at
