This was a long overdue meeting with Cindy Y. Rodriguez! To be transparent we were talking for a good 45 minutes before we hit record! You know she's gotta come back and we're going to continue diving deep! In this episode, Cindy shares what it was like growing up the only Peruana in West New York/New Jersey, a life-changing trip, exploring her ancestors and going from hiding about her ancestors to unapologetically proud of her roots!

BIO:
By training, Cindy Y. Rodriguez is a writer, producer and storyteller who has worked in media for over 15 years but after feeling disconnected from herself and her roots in 2017, she took on a new role. She created a spiritual hiking and journaling community for women of color called Reclama to help them reclaim themselves in nature. When she’s not hiking, she’s working as a producer in public media or singing to her 24-year-old turtle. Cindy was born and raised in New Jersey by her immigrant Peruvian parents and identifies as indigenous.
