Día de los Muertos: The ’Coco’ Version

We know we love all-things Halloween and October. But we also have a new(er) appreciation for the Mexican celebration Día de los Muertos thanks to one of our favorite animated films, 'Coco.' Join host CH this week as she discusses how the overall story and theme of the film inspired her to reflect on the importance of family and legacy, and to embrace remembering those who have gone before us in a vibrant, celebratory way vs. a sad, tragic way. Whether you're familiar with Día de los Muertos or are just now hearing about it, tune in for a thoughtful discussion on how stories, music, and celebration help inspire and connect us all across time.
