How to Talk to [Mamí & Papí] about Anything

We're a show about family — about how to talk with the people you love when you feel like you. just. can't. Every week, I’ll talk to an adult child of immigrant parents who’s having a hard time broaching a taboo subject, feeling not heard or understood, AND ready to try something NEW. No subject is off limits. Raising children, coming out, religion... We’re going to get into it.
