How to Talk to [Mamí & Papí] about Anything
Society & Culture:Relationships
Last year, Odalys talked to us about her Cuban grandmother’s toxic behavior and how familismo made it hard for her parents to address it. Today, she reflects on how their difficult relationship shaped her and how opening up about it on our podcast helped her begin to process it all.
If you loved this episode, listen to Odalys's (aka Ody) original episode, When Familism Hurts.
We’d love to hear your stories of triumph and frustration so send us a detailed voice memo to virginia@lwcstudios.com. You might be on a future episode!
