By Lia Portillo Cantarero, “Latino Living” Producer
NATCHITOCHES – Northwestern State University’s Hispanic Student Journalist Association has released their second episode of “Latino Living’s” second season. The podcast, which is made in cooperation with the Department of New Media, Journalism and Communication arts under the guidance of Dr. Nick Taylor, explores the idea of the “American Dream” in their latest episode.
In this episode, host Naydu Daza Maya of Cartagena, Colombia, and producer Lia Portillo Cantarero of Galliano ask guests and NSU students what the “American Dream” means to them. This episode prompts the question of believing in a notion that has long been a symbol of prosperity for citizens and foreigners alike.
The guests featured in the episode are Frankie Zoller, a U.S. Army Veteran, and Kimberly Saucedo, a Larose native attending the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Through their lived experiences, Zoller and Saucedo reflect how the “American Dream” has played a role in their lives and what makes this dream come true.
“Latino Living” is produced with the help of Taylor, an assistant professor; Portillo Cantarero, producer; Daza Maya, host; Isabel Juarez Rubio of Hicks, assistant producer; Allison Florez Bermudez of Cartagena, editor; and Laura Cabarcas Vargas of Cartagena, technical director.
The video podcast is available on YouTube and on Spotify.
