On this week’s episode, I chatted with Salvadorian and Cuban-American artist and educator Manuela Guillén. Manuela and I talked all about growing up in Miami, feeling out of place in white majority neighborhoods, and growing up as a first generation kid in the US. We also dissected how she got started creating “political” work, what it was like living and teaching in Mexico, and how her Latinx heritage influences her artwork. Join me on this week’s episode to learn more about Manuela bicultural background and creative career.

Welcome to this week’s episode of Draws in Spanish where I chat with Irish-American and Mexican-American illustrator and author, Molly Mendoza. Molly and I had a chill yet deep chat about growing up in the suburbs, blending her Mexican heritage with her Irish roots, and her relationship with the Spanish language. Aside from her cultural upbringing, we also talked about the ins and outs of her illustration work and what it’s been like working in the publishing industry. Join me on this week’s episode to learn more about Molly’s background and impressive illustration career.
