Imagine standing shoulder to shoulder with a community as it weathers the hardest of times, yet refuses to be knocked down. This is the story Genesis Castro from the Latino Community Fund of Georgia and I, Tammy Williams, are here to share—a story of remarkable endurance and the fight for equity during the COVID-19 pandemic. As we journey through the experiences of the Latino immigrants who've been the backbone of essential industries, you'll hear about their disproportionate job losses and the scarcity of government aid. Our discussion delves into the herculean efforts by nonprofits to step in where others stepped back, providing much-needed financial support, food, and protective gear, and yet, the needs that soar ever-higher in communities where help is thin on the ground.

We don't stop at the economic impact; education and empowerment take center stage as well. Join us as we celebrate the academic triumphs of those who have risen above systemic barriers, and the powerful narratives of students overcoming adversity with resilience and strength. The episode doesn't shy away from hard truths either, as we tackle the obstacles faced by English learners and the myths that cloud public perception of the Latino community. In our heartfelt conversation, we address the strides made in voter registration, the quest for more inclusive systems, and the importance of advocacy that uplifts every voice. Tune in for an episode that is not just a reflection of a community's struggle but a testament to its unyielding spirit and the call to action for systemic change.
