  • Grief with Curly Velasquez - Ep # 3
    Nov 11 2024
    In this heartfelt episode of Las Paleteras, hosts Cesar, Ana Sheila, and Nalgona welcome special guest Curly Velasquez, another beloved paleta flavor who brings his own unique sweetness to the mix. Curly shares his story, starting with the cherished memories of his late abuelita, a bond many of his followers felt with him as he shared her impact on his life. The conversation dives into the depths of grief—how it can manifest in ways beyond physical loss, reaching into the end of relationships, friendships, and even the shedding of old identities or dreams that never came to be. Cesar and Ana Shela guide the discussion, asking Curly to share his personal journey and how he navigates the complicated, often non-linear stages of grief. From shock to acceptance, grief can be isolating or a shared experience, and this episode explores how each of us finds our own ways to hold grief close, while also allowing space for joy and new life. Curly opens up about the challenges of navigating grief and finding peace, touching on both the heaviness and the healing. This episode is not just about loss; it's about learning to walk with grief while embracing the beauty of living. Las Paleteras is here to remind you that it’s okay to grieve—and it’s okay to live fully at the same time. Grab your paleta and join us for this moving conversation on Las Paleteras.

  • Exploring Sexuality and Queer Identity - Ep # 2
    Oct 28 2024
    In this episode, we’re taking a refreshing pause with Las Paleteras to dive into a hot topic: the fluidity of sexuality and evolving queer identities. Our hosts share personal stories on how their own sexualities, pleasures, and identities have changed throughout their lives. From grappling with pronoun etiquette to processing generational shifts in sexual identity, we dig into the data and explore where we see ourselves in these trends. Then we’re deepening the conversation with reflections on inner struggles and societal pressures: Does oppression look the same as it did when we were younger? How has our queerness brought us strength—and, more recently, how has the rise in anti-LGBTQIA+ sentiments affected us? This episode embraces the power of queer liberation, both as individuals and within our community. As we close, we reflect on questions we wish we had answers to in our youth, as well as the questions we hold now as queer adults.
