Futuro. Hello, dear listener,

that was so Radieu Escucha, like

Today we're going to bring you an episode from Classy.

It's a new podcast hosted by Jonathan Menhevar in which he explores a topic that, well, a lot of people find uncomfortable. It's the issue of class.

Jonathan grew up in a working class family in a suburb of Los Angeles.

His dad is from El Salvador and as Jonathan built a career in public radio

he didn't talk about his past and that was because of the issue of class.

Now you can't separate class from race. They often go hand in hand with the way we

look the way we dress and so in this episode of Classy,

Jonathan interviews two people of color who work in the fashion industry.

One of them is Brenda Ekejo,

Here's Jonathan Manhiva with this episode of Classy.
