They try to bleach the bloodline, but the Black will never leave.

Black culture is part of our latinidad! We move to the rhythms, speak in the cadences, season our food with the history itself. But when it comes to claiming our Blackness? We hesitate. We deny. We erase.

We’ve been taught to call ourselves Indio, trigueño, mestizo, anything but what we are. But no matter how much we run from it, history runs THROUGH us. The curls, the melanin, the ancestors. Still here!

The lie may be loud, but the truth is louder. Are you ready to hear it?

Happy Black History Month!

They tried to bury the rhythm, but it never stopped beating.

The Rhythm That Remains is a story of Harlem’s pulse, Langston Hughes, Black resilience, and the echoes of a fight that never ended.

The struggle may have changed its tune, but the song still plays. Are you listening?

This week, we’re celebrating one whole year of The What A Character Podcast. One year filled with stories, growth, and vulnerability.

From exploring the depths of our favorite characters to peeling back the layers of our own, this year has been nothing short of transformative.

Thank you for letting me share, for tuning in, and for being part of this incredible journey.

Here’s to the stories we’ve told, the ones we’re living, and the ones yet to come.

Have you ever felt like the person staring back at you in the mirror wasn’t you anymore? Like every choice you’ve made was less about what you wanted and more about what others expected?

This week we're learning how the silent thief of conformity chips away at our authenticity, self-worth, and joy.

Because staying true to yourself in a world that demands sameness is one of the bravest things you’ll ever do.

Do you ever feel like joy is a luxury you’re not meant to have? Like every time you reach for happiness, your past whispers, "Don’t get too comfortable."

This week, we’re uncovering a story about rewiring your mind after trauma, breaking free from cycles of pain, and learning to trust in love, light, and the beauty life has to offer.

Because healing isn’t just about surviving, it’s about reclaiming the softness, peace, and joy you deserve.

Do you ever feel like you're one misstep away from being 'found out'? Like no matter how much you've achieved, it's never enough? This week, we’re diving into Beneath the Glass Ceiling, a story about battling imposter syndrome, finding strength in vulnerability, and learning to embrace your own worth. Because sometimes, the biggest battle isn’t proving yourself to the world, it’s believing you belong there in the first place!

What does gratitude mean when life feels messy? How do you find light in loss or stay present during the holidays?

This week, we’re talking about finding beauty in chaos, rebuilding yourself, and preparing for the life you deserve. Plus, what Pluto in Aquarius means for your future.

This is 'Gratitude, Growth & Gearing Up for Your Glow-Up.'

In this week’s episode, we’re getting a look into the messy, day-by-day realities of healing. What does it mean to rebuild yourself when the shadows of your past still creep in? Meet Lucas, a man from North Bergen, New Jersey who’s fought his way through dark times and is still working to be better, even when his past tries to pull him back. Lucas wasn’t always the kind, loyal friend you’d want in your corner. He’s had to wrestle with himself, with old habits, and with deep pain, showing up every day to protect his peace and love his chosen family in a way he wasn’t always taught. This is the story called, Healing, Not Healed. A raw story about facing triggers, taking accountability, and finding strength in the journey that’s far from finished.
