In this very special episode of LWL, FavyFav has a conversation with our new friend Elier Rodriguez about his coming out process and the insecurities that this entails. Coming out, for Elier, goes beyond telling people that he is gay, it is about expressing his identity through his style, dance, social interactions and the internet. They get deep about growing up religious, toxic masculinity, the color pink and much much more! And as always, Babelito reads a listener letter and discuss the origin of their podcast nicknames. #comingout #supportbrownpodcasts #latinx

Back in September, Babelito and Favy were in Austin, Texas and got to hang with their friends Xochi Solis and George Pasterk. From Chulita Vinyl Club to the Denver art Museum, and from Church of the Friendly Ghost to Mass art collective, these two have been making waves in the Austin art world for years now. George and Xochi discussed the violent gentrification of Austin and the role of art spaces in erasing and preserving the brown sanctuaries of the city. Also in this episode, they tell us all about the importance of Tejano culture, music and food and the role that identity has played in their artistic practice. #buildyourowncanon
