How to Talk to [Mamí & Papí] about Anything

Welcome to How to Talk to [Mamí & Papí] About Anything

Episode Notes

We're a show about family — about how to talk with the people you love when you feel like you. just. can't. Every week, I’ll talk to an adult child of immigrant parents who’s having a hard time broaching a taboo subject, feeling not heard or understood, AND ready to try something NEW. No subject is off limits.  Raising children, coming out, religion... We’re going to get into it.

We’d love to hear your stories of triumph and frustration so send us a detailed voice memo to hello@talktomamipapi.com. You might be on a future episode!

Episode Transcription

I’m Juleyka Lantigua Williams, the host of How to talk to Mami and Papi About Anything, which is debuting at Podapalooza. I’m so honored to participate in this relief effort and thank you for joining us in doing our part.

COVID-19 is hurting the entire world, and it's hitting some harder than others. In fact, COVID-19’s impact on families around me was the catalyst for How to talk to Mami and Papi About Anything. 

It is a show about family — about how to talk with the people you love when you feel like you. just. can't. 

Every week, I’ll talk to an adult child of immigrant parents who’s having a hard time broaching a taboo subject, feeling not heard or understood, AND ready to try something NEW. 

No subject is off limits. 

Raising children, coming out, religion... we’re going to get into it.

For Podapalooza, we’re premiering the show with an episode about what one Latina faced when her mother made an unthinkable decision during the height of the epidemic in NYC.
