Episode 4: Meet KC Cibran

Many of us have had the experience of wanting to ‘fit in’ someplace, to not be othered. Today’s guest KC Cibran, a first generation Cuban American from Miami, and I both share the experience of distancing ourselves from our culture to fit in. This of course is a privilege for the white passing Latinx. We discuss how we came back to embracing our cultures, and how we (and you!) can use your white privilege to call out the bullshit, especially at the dinner table. We also talk about representation in media and the interior design space. You should see KC’s beautiful apartment decor which was inspired by her abuelita and has been featured in Apartment Therapy. And get ready to crave some delicious Cuban food because we obviously talk about all the tasty dishes you can find at your local Cuban spot.
