In this episode we interview NYC based writer and comedian, Miguel Fernandez. Miguel has studied and performed sketch comedy and improv over the past several years. Recently he has performed in groups specializing in Improv en Espanol. We love supporting up and coming artists and we think he is a rising star.
Miguel shares his story with us and explains how his journey as a child of Colombian immigrant parents led him on the path to pursue his dream of performing on stage. We go over his experiences and discuss several themes like how his family supported his dreams, the challenges that Latino comedians face, the work that goes on behind the scenes, and how Social Media is changing the promotion game.
Check out his upcoming show at the P.I.T. Loft in NYC on Jan 10, 2024 at 6pm.

In this episode we speak with one of the hottest chefs in NYC today, Derick Lopez, owner of The Freakin Rican restaurant in Astoria, NY.
Featuring a menu of traditional Puerto Rican cuisine, Chef Derick delivers a culinary delight to anyone looking for some authentic “Boricua” flavors. The food is delicious and the service and ambience deliver an experience that you will remember and come back for more. However, the food is just scratching the surface about what makes Chef Derick special.
Derick shares his story with us and explains how the challenges of growing up as a poor, gay man from the NYC projects helped shape his work ethic leading to his success. He shares how his passion for cooking came from his mother, and how it also manifested into his calling to be an advocate for his Puerto Rican people.
This is an episode that will inspire anyone who has ever had a dream and or stumbled along the way (or for anyone who loves finding a delicious meal). Derick is a great example of a Modern Latino and we hope you enjoy this episode.
