About this episode
Odalys Jasmine interviews B0ryan about the first-gen Salvadoran experience, exploring themes of identity, resilience, and creativity.
In this episode of Hella Latin@, Odalys Jasmine sits down with B0ryan — a first-gen Salvadoran creative to talk identity, resilience, and what it really means to create not from survival, but from truth.
