To kick off this podcast’s pilot episode, we’re joined by our very own co-host Juana Teresa Tello, as well as Anita Fernández, and Jason Ferreira. In this episode they’ll share more about the origins of the Coalition for Liberated Ethnic Studies, which was established in 2021, but has collaborative origins and lessons that span well beyond this timeline.
