Hello Again friends & builders,

It's been a while since I launched this podcast and a lot has happened since this internet journey in my personal life and in the world at large. I'm rebranding the podcast to Build with Joy and have since launched my business and life coaching working quietly behind the scenes. In this episode, I give a recap of what you can expect moving forward... it's gonna be MESSY AF but we're moving forward.

As well as a reframe about what LIFE you want to live and how to start looking at your work in a way that aligns with your work and values towards the LIFE you want. I'd love to hear your thoughts and on social media so tag me.

All for Ramon breaks barriers of the fashion industry - first starting with the fact that this small business is soaked in the idea of diversity. The small fashion business was created by Diana Ibarra and her sister - being the first generation of Mexican-Americans in Los Angeles, California. 

The family has been working with textiles and the process of dying clothing now for over 30 years. This gives us the idea that the process comes way back from the lands of the Aztec experts.

Diana talks to us about the inspiration of All for Ramon, after her brother Ramon was diagnosed with cancer.

Today more than ever we need to understand how policy affects us. We've teamed up for a cross over episode with Kriselle of Empowered in Color and her interview with Shaniyat Chowdhury who is running for Congress in NY-5 district against a 20-year incumbent.  We talk about his life growing up in Jamaica, Queens, poverty drafted into the Marines, journey into activism serving in the New York state assembly, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez's campaign, and ultimately running for office. 

You might think politics is too much and rather avoid the topic but the best way to ensure America becomes a better place is by electing people who truly understand the realities of economic, racial, and social inequality. People like Shaniyat. 

Thank you to Empowered in Color for this collaboration to get the word out. 

You can learn more about Shaniyat and donate on his website at Shaniyat2020.com

We’re talking with Comedian Erik Rivera, his journey as a first-generation Guatemalan- American growing up in suburban New York, and how he found himself going into comedy as a career - and spoiler alert his mom was not so happy.

Erik Rivera just had his Comedy Special “Super White” on HBO where we use comedy to share his story growing up and being a parent. You can follow him on Instagram @ErikRiveraComedy and find his upcoming shows on erikrivera.com

In this episode We're going to  revisit a conversation Grecia and I had last season about BOUNDARIES! Now - this something many of us struggle with and really didn't learn especially being an immigrant diaspora kid, Latinx, and growing up in very communal environments where personal space is (stress ) kind of a luxury. Learning boundaries are necessary to respect your self, those around you, and have healthy relationships. So we're talking more about it today with Grecia . You can find Grecia on Instagram and Twitter as @Grecia_Writer
