Typically, on Radar, we dive into one topic. But this time, we decided to feature una mezcla of our favorite segments, making this episode particularly special because it’s our last one. We’re recapping the subjects that usually get swept under the proverbial tapete, and in the process, making our parents relive some pretty uncomfortable—yet necessary—conversations. So many of the issues Radar tackled head-on haven’t traditionally been welcome at the dinner table, at family gatherings or in many Latinx spaces. With that in mind, we have proudly lived up to our tagline, which just happens to be the epitome of #realtalk: Radar is NOT Your Abuela’s News Show. The goal has always been clear—to give Latinxs a news show customized for them, created by them, and geared to confront cultural taboos as well as to celebrate our diverse communities. You, our familia, made up of bicultural, bilingual, two hundred percenters (100% Latinx, 100% Americanos) who understand what it’s like to have roots in more than one geographical region, and know what it’s like to exist in two worlds were the protagonists of every single episode. And as you may have noticed, having stories covered from the lens of our communities isn’t the norm but on Radar, we made it the standard. We’re honored to have played a part in this ongoing effort to expand media representation of diverse communities, and to have unapologetically carved out a powerful space for Latinx inclusion. The work continues and so no adios here, instead, we say hasta luego, familia! Gaby Fresquez: https://www.instagram.com/gabyfresquez Katelina Eccleston: https://www.instagram.com/reggaetonco...

Feliz Women’s History Month! Today, young women are more likely to be enrolled in college, and when it comes to making dinero, mujeres are on a collective quest to make up for lost time. Truth is, having a meaningful presence in the workforce for only about 50 years has made some of us laser focused on becoming JEFAS in our industries and in our communities. The driving force for ensuring that we have a seat at the decision table has been our desire to break down systemic hurdles and to pave the way for more exposure and better protections. However, progressive change is difficult in every environment, and particularly with in communities of color where we often rely solely on trailblazers from the inside to help us transition toward growth and inclusivity. In addition to honoring Women’s History Month here in the U.S., we also celebrated International Women’s Day earlier this month, but given the state of global unrest, what’s supposed to be a time of celebration has been a time of uncertainty and devastation for many. In defiance of the barriers that have been hard set for women in nearly every aspect of life, mujeres everywhere continue to fight for equality, justice, and basic human rights well beyond a celebratory day or month.

After facing multiple recessions, millennials are now having to navigate through an economic crisis and record-breaking inflation brought on by the pandemic. In recent months, a slew of millennials and Gen Z who were working to receive checks that didn’t cover their basic needs decided to quit, adding to the factors that led to what has been dubbed as the Great Resignation. But not all blue-collar workers exited the workforce by choice, some were forced to do so. One particular section of the workforce that’s been most affected by the ousting is largely comprised of POC, with Latinas exiting the workforce at the highest rate during the pandemic. Similarly, the rising inflation has targeted another faction of the workforce—low-income folks who simply cannot afford to pay higher prices for everyday goods and services. Despite the economic uncertainty, financial experts point to certain economic avenues that may provide relief to those willing and able to invest. Also, the active labor force is giving momentum to other social movements such as pay transparency, prompting NYC to act on those demands. There are also calls on legislators to take action, such as allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices to reduce costs. The executive branch is also being summoned to fulfill its promise and sign off on some form of student loan forgiveness. In the meantime, it appears supply and demand has given the workforce the upper hand with the hiring rate is higher than the quit rate and companies are expected to continue increasing wages in 2022. Aaahh, a silver lining! Host and Contributors: Gaby Fresquez: https://www.instagram.com/gabyfresquez Ivan Emilio: https://www.instagram.com/theivanemil...

Bans on women’s reproductive rights are popping up in pretty much every red state within the U.S. It’s crucial to talk about how and why abortion has been polarized and politicized, why today’s incursion of Roe v. Wade seems more consequential than ever before, and how these restrictions impact low-income women, minority communities and the overall U.S. economy. The legislative barriers on women’s reproductive rights continue to emerge despite the fact that a majority of Americans believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases. And given that affordability is one of the main reasons many women choose to have an abortion, it’s clear that reproductive rights aren’t just a social and racial issue, but an economic one.

When it comes to the amount of coverage media gives to missing persons cases, it’s become common knowledge that white women receive vastly more attention and airtime than cases concerning BIPOC.

When it comes to the amount of coverage media gives to missing persons cases, it’s become common knowledge that white women receive vastly more attention and airtime than cases concerning BIPOC. And while media outlets, journalists and even law enforcement have openly recognized the problem and put forth some effort to correct it, little has been done to systematically overturn it. The devastating case of Gabby Petito received widespread media attention and even helped cast a spotlight on various other cases of missing BIPOC, but hundreds more still go ignored. Organizations and groups refusing to sit and wait for the next high-profile case of a missing white woman to serve as the catalyst for corrective measures are doing their part to ensure that media and law enforcement give cases like that of Lauren Cho and Jelani Day the attention they so deserve. In the meantime, they’re putting alternative media and social media to good use to spread awareness.

There’s almost no aspect of daily life that hasn’t been affected by the pandemic and that includes dating—specifically online dating. New trends emerge every day with apps targeting specific niches like.... people who like astrology, music playlists, and even bacon. But while dating app algorithms are supposed to equal matchmaking-made-simple, not all are entirely user-friendly. For some users, algorithms and filters can promote prejudice. Trans women are often banned from Tinder despite the app’s inclusivity pledge. Even when exclusion doesn’t come from the algorithm itself, it can come from the app’s users. As dating apps continue to evolve in this remote world, we can only hope that they don’t lose track of their main goal: helping users find real-life human connection. Just as the demands for dating apps grow, and as platforms become more inclusive, one can only hope that more users will be able to meet their bottom line—finding love—at the same success rate in which app makers are regularly exceeding their ROI.

Though beauty standards in Western culture are ever evolving, one fact has withstood the test of time: their impact is felt by everyone.

Latinx people can be quite superstitious, and our belief in the mystical or supernatural is mostly rooted in the folktales of our ancestors—stories that have been passed down from generation to generation (i.e. La Llorona, El Cuco, El Chupacabra). But many of the stories we think of as universal in Latin America are often adapted to fit a specific region or issue. These stories not only serve to fuel our very healthy imaginations, but also help us confront some of our most irrational fears and teach valuable lessons. They also allow our Latinx elders and parents to manipulate younger generations into doing what they want—even if it means instilling fear. And while that might sound cruel, for many of us, it’s often the most fun part. Host and Contributors: Gaby Fresquez: https://www.instagram.com/gabyfresque...

Latinx representation—whether in film and television, advertising, or news media—is progressing at what could be described as a glacial pace. But during a year of fractured Hollywood releases, theater closures and industry-wide uncertainty, according UCLA’s most recent Hollywood Diversity Report, we did see some—albeit minor—progress for representation among women and people of color in television and film. Overall, however, these groups and Latinx people in general, are still vastly underrepresented across most categories. And while audiences have been receptive to the uptick in onscreen diversity, there is still a notable disparity when it comes to the financing of projects with diverse casts and crews. Apart from industry leaders who are truly committed to change, it seems that any remaining hope for the 18% of the US Latinx population to be proportionately reflected in media is much more likely come from the influencer market—a space where content creators aren’t waiting around for society’s gatekeepers to grant permission.
