Hi, Tamarinda listeners. As we wrap up our last season of episodes for the year, we want to say thank you.

Thank you so much for listening, for reaching out, for being our lovely listeners.

We appreciate each and every single one of you.

Today's guest is Fabiola Santiago, who writes about anti-indiginity, colorism, and classism,

and the economic and political disenfranchment that native and indigenous Wahakans face both in Mexico and the U.S.

She is also the founder of Miwaxaca, an organization that shines a light on the systemic barriers

that limit indigenous leadership and economic self-determination globally.

But before that, Delsey and I reflect on 2025, a year that we know has been extremely difficult for many communities.

We send you all our love.

And as we are thinking of gratitude right now, we're going to ask you for a favor.

If you like listening to Damarindo and you haven't taken the time to write us a review on your favorite

platform, could you help us out? It really does help us tremendously. It helps us keep going and it

helps other listeners find us. We appreciate you. Well, Welcome to the Marindo podcast.

Hosted by me, Brenda Gonzalez, a fitness coach, political nerd, and nonprofit capacity

builder.

And me, Delsey Sandoval, a Guatemalan American licensed therapist and passionate creativity advocate.

Together, we're here to uplift our community through powerful conversations with change makers, creatives, and healers.

Each week on the pod, we talk politics, culture, and personal development.

Listeners called Tamarino, the advocacy and self-love podcast.

Let's start the show.

Hello, Tamarindo listeners.

Hi, Brenda.
