In this episode of The Latina Confidential, I had the privilege to chat with Imelda Hartley, founder of Imelda Happy Tamales. Imelda's story is one of resilience and determination. She is a survivor of domestic violence and a mother of 14 children, and despite facing numerous challenges, she has managed to build a successful tamales business as she says, she doesn't sell food, she sells hope. Imelda's journey to success was not an easy one. She immigrated to the United States accidentally at 14 and had to learn to navigate a new country and culture on her own. Despite the odds, Imelda persevered and eventually started her own business selling her delicious tamales. Recently, Imelda had the incredible opportunity to sell her food at the Superbowl, a dream come true for any entrepreneur. But for Imelda, it was more than just a business opportunity. It was a chance to spread hope and inspire others to pursue their dreams, no matter how challenging the journey. In this episode, we dive deep into Imelda's inspiring story and learn about the lessons she's learned along the way. We also get a glimpse into the passion and dedication that goes into making her delicious tamales. Imelda's story is a testament to the power of hard work and determination, and I am honored to share it with you.

In this episode I'm so excited because I welcome my first-ever guest, Jacqueline Villegas, to discuss the important topic of mental health in Latino families. Jacqueline is a Latina born in Oak Cliff Dallas, she attended UT Arlington and graduated in 2015 with a Bachelor's in Social Work and a minor in Psychology. Growing up in a Latino family with Chicano and Salvadoran roots, Jacqueline experienced firsthand the stigma and shame associated with mental health issues. In this candid conversation, Jacqueline and I explore the cultural factors that contribute to the stigma surrounding mental health in Latino families, as well as the impact that this stigma can have on individuals and communities. We also share our own personal experiences with mental health and offer advice for others who may be struggling to open up about their own mental health challenges. As the first guest on the Latina Confidential, Jacqueline sets the tone for a podcast dedicated to amplifying the voices and experiences of Latina women. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who has ever felt alone or ashamed about their mental health struggles, and for those who want to learn more about how to support loved ones who may be going through a difficult time.
