Today’s guest is Julio Salgado. Through his bold and unapologetic work, Julio challenges the status quo and uplifts voices that are too often silenced. As a queer, undocumented creator, he uses his art to reimagine visibility, joy, and resistance.

In this conversation, we connected on our immigrant experiences, love for art, and his beautiful, poetic way of describing the U.S.

If you’re feeling the weight of the year or just looking for a spark of inspiration, this episode is for you. Join me as I sit down with Julio and explore his incredible journey, challenges, and how he uses his voice to create space for joy and change.
