This week my amazing guest is poet and passionate educator Diosa Xochíquetzalcóatl. I know you will love hearing her share her story. She identifies as both a Chicana and Mexicana having spent significant time on both sides of the frontera. She has even done some fantastic exploration of her ancestry, tracing back several generations of her lineage. We discuss her prolific writing including her latest collection MeXicana: poemas y más poemas. I had the honor of editing her work and highly recommend checking it out. It is a powerful testament to the complex lived experience of the borderlands. We also have a fascinating conversation about spiritual practices and religion, since Diosa grew up Catholic and her dad is a deacon. It is a lovely episode, and I know you will enjoy it. Be sure to check out her publications especially those through Riot of Roses publishing.

My guest this week is Award winning podcaster Angela Briones. She is the host of, “The Gay Podcast for Everyone” and “Thank you for Joining me” where she takes us on a behind the scenes look at podcasting. Growing up in Austin, Texas...Angela shares how dancing Baile Folklorico for many years allowed her to connect and learn about her culture. She also mentions how important it was that there were Queer adults in the dance company and how comforting that realization was in her own coming out process. She also expresses how it has been navigating Catholicism as a Queer Latina. I know you will love this fantastic and deep conversation. https://www.thegaypodcastforeveryone.com/1481272/contributors/104128-angela-brioneshttps://thankyouforjoiningme.buzzsprout.com/2402938/episodes/16487367-1-welcome-to-thank-you-for-joining-me 👸🏽🎙️ Thank you for checking out the "Gold Hoops and God Podcast" The "Gold Hoops & God" podcast is designed for Millennial Latinas and is fueled by faith and culture.
