The criminal Latina, power dynamics and negative stereotypes

Is That Us? Podcast by Itzel Diaz

Episode notes

Welcome to "Is That Us? Podcast,” a podcast where we talk about Latina representation in film and television and why it matters.

In this episode, we discuss the "criminal Latina" stereotype and its impact on how Latinas are perceived. Our guests for today are two amazing mujeres that I am lucky to call friends, Mayra Chavez, and Karely Ordaz.

Join us as we explore the ways in which this stereotype can limit the representation and understanding of Latinas and discuss the importance of breaking down these stereotypes to promote a more authentic and diverse representation.
