Joaquin Muerte -   Xicanx Masculinity and Grief

In this episode Joaquin Muerte shared about his Xicanx vs Aliens podcast, which was created to normalize conversations around the supernatural and destigmatize these experiences. He shares some of his activist upbringing, and his own journey of healing through food with his dad. He finishes with how healing for the Xicanx masculine can start with the nervous system- Xicano Soul being an avenue to help a vato relax into vulnerability. He also spoke about a project around grief that he’d love to start through his music. 

Joaquin is the band leader for Joaquin & The Glowliners, drummer for Combo Cósmico, member of Los Nahuatlatos and the creator of the Xicanx versus aliens podcast.
