Afro-Latinidad, Television and Film - POSE and I Like It Like That

In the first episode of season two, we discuss both film and television. In particular we consider Afro-Latinx representation in the 1994 film, I Like It Like That and the 2018 television series, POSE. There are a number of themes that overlap between the two works, but for this episode, we focus on trans lives in Latinx communities, chosen family vs. biological family, queer activism, and the fluidity of Afro-Latinx Culture. Finally, we wrap up with a few additional recommendations for television and film that highlight the Afro-Latinx experience.
