In the first Episode of Chingona Chronicles Podcast, Maria talks about her upbringing and her inspiration behind CCP and how she came up with the name. We discuss pandemic stress, lack of diversity for BIPOC (Black Indigenous People Of Color) in media and entertainment, and how we can take a word with a negative connotation like "chingona" and not just reclaim it, but to transform it into a crown that we wear proudly and &nbsp;with confidence.

It's Quiet, Aint No Back Talk

To be a Chingona is to be a woman that walks into their power and always comes out on top, despite the challenges and obstacles they face every day. From growing up in America as a daughter of immigrants, machismo and other toxic culture norms, motherhood, mental health and self care and everything in between, Chingona Chronicles creates a safe space for women to take a break from their daily grind to unpack, laugh, fix that crown and to remind themselves that anything is possible for you, Chingona!
