The Modern Latino Podcast
Bienvenidos and Welcome to The Modern Latino Podcast.
Our goal is simple: have thoughtful conversations about the issues impacting our lives, highlight individuals doing great things in their communities, and finally, celebrate all of the beautiful cultures that make-up the Latino diaspora.
We do this by keeping an open mind, trying to learn something new, and always treating each other with respect.
