where chingonas thrive

Hosted and created by Rosanna Alvarez, The Hella Chingona Podcast™ was created with the intent to build on an archive of stories where Chingonas thrive. The idea is to create an on-going conversation that uplifts through testimonio (our personal story telling) in a way that brings folks together across space and time anchored in sincerity, power, and community.

Wiri Wiri Wednesday Episodes

Catch us on the Livestream for those Wiri Wiri Wednesday ™ episodes where we talk about our journeys, motivations, aspirations, and inspirations with featured guests elevate Chicana and Latina voices with a legacy rooted in their communities. The themes and stories we touch on have cross cultural relevance and are relatable across communities, so you don’t have to identify as Chicana or Latina to tune in for some laughs, some real talk, and a whole lot of uplifting wiri wiri (which some of you might more readily recognize as chisme and mitote).
