#PresentOverPerfect is just one of the many nuggets we took away from our conversation with Eliana Murillo, the founder of #Latinaswhobrunch, a community of badass Latinas. Many of us have grown up afraid to be truly seen or can be paralyzed from even starting to do the work we love because of fear and insecurities. On our latest episode in #thetimeofcorona, we sit down with Eliana to discuss #mindset and #self-development tools and approaches she uses to overcome insecurities, fear, and shame in order to show up most authentically and step into the work she’s called to do for others. In addition to Latinas who brunch, Eliana is the co-founder of her family's organic Tequila Alquimia company, an award-winning USDA certified 100% organic and eco-friendly product that contributes 15% of every harvest to support nonprofit causes. While working at Google, Eliana founded the multicultural marketing team, She graduated from Harvard College and was included in the Forbes 30 Under 30 List in 2017. She's originally from Oxnard, California, and has a big, beautiful Mexican family throughout Ventura County. She currently resides in LA, where she makes art, cooks and does yogatón in between meetings in quarantine.

On this episode of Tamarindo, we connect with Carlos Santos, the actor and comedian who plays Chris Morales, one of three cousins that are the central characters of the hit #Latinx #Netlix show #Gentefied. Whether you’ve seen the show or not, we know that many Latinos in the US identify with the experience of not being Mexican (or insert country of origin) enough, something that Carlos’s character Chris wrestles with in hilarious ways. Learn how Carlos brings his comedy chops to shape his Chris, aka, #guero, making him one of the most memorable characters on the show. Then, as a #calma segment, Ana Sheila shares some ways we can check-in with ourselves to better identify the activities that bring us #peace and those that can produce #anxiety so that we can do more of what we love and less of what we don’t need. We also have an important message from UnidosUS. We know that even in the best of times, making healthy decisions can be tough and the coronavirus and economic crises hitting our country isn’t going to make that any easier. As schools nationwide are closed to help stop the coronavirus, millions of children are flocking to digital platforms, exposing them to an environment where their rights and health are at risk. That’s because there is surprising way that your child’s online activity can harm their health: when food and beverage companies aggressively target them with advertisements for junk food. While many sites and platforms provide an educational lifeline and respect children’s digital rights, marketers rely on “Big Data” and digital techniques to blur the lines between content and advertisements and reach children and teens through websites, social platforms and mobile devices, making it tough for even the most involved parent to protect their kids from these practices. UnidosUS believes that the practice of targeted marketing is a major racial and health equity issue because companies specifically target children and youth of color with marketing for foods and drinks that are low in nutrition and high in sugars, salt and fats. Doing this reinforces health inequities where Latino children are more likely suffer from obesity or are more likely to develop diabetes and/or heart disease as adults. This practice is especially harmful to the nation’s Latino children. They get a “double dose” of targeted marketing in BOTH English and Spanish, increasing the number of ads designed to negatively influence their nutrition choices Tamarindo podcast is the Latinx show where hosts discuss politics, pop culture, and how to balance it all con calma, hosted by Brenda Gonzalez and Ana Sheila Victorino.
