This episode is inspired by Drs. Carla España and Luz Yadira Herrera’s book, En Comunidad: Lessons for Centering the Voices and Experiences of Bilingual Latinx Students.  I am in conversation with Dr. Tracey T. Flores of Somos Escritoras, a creative space for Latina girls in grades 6-8 that invites them to share and perform stories from their lived experiences using art, theater, and writing as a tool for self-reflection and self-expression. Dr. Flores also shares her experiences as a classroom teacher. 

This episode marks the beginning of our series, "Centering Bilingual and Multilingual Latinx Students En Comunidad" series which is inspired by Drs. Carla España and Luz Yadira Herrera’s book, En Comunidad: Lessons for Centering the Voices and Experiences of Bilingual Latinx Students. For this gathering, I am in conversation with my friends, Drs. Idaila Nuñez, Arturo Nevárez, and Paty Abril-Gonzalez as they share their experiences with language, race, and culture as children, teachers, teacher educators, and parents. 

In this episode, Dr. Sarah P Alvarez joins me as co-host in our interview with Drs. Carla España and Luz Yadira Herrera about their noteworthy book and inspiration for this series, En Comunidad: Lessons for Centering the Voices and Experiences of Bilingual Latinx Students.
