Telling is Political

In this episode, we reflect on education and the journey of being first-generation, sharing important data that situates Stockton within California and the rest of the country. We sit down with educator, professor, researcher, and co-founder of Nopal,  Nancy Huante-Tzintzun, to discuss first her educational journey, the lessons she learned from growing up in Stockton, and advice she would give to younger generations. Nancy shares her perspective on data about education, particularly when it comes to Stockton.

Host Danyeli Rodriguez Del Orbe and Nopal co-founders/directors, Drs. Ricky Gutierrez-Maldonado and Nancy Huante-Tzintzun introduce Telling is Political, a story-telling podcast of Nopal Stockton that aims to dismantle mainstream narratives about Chicanx/Latinx communities by centering the multigenerational and multilayered conversations about identity, race, queerness, migration, and more. Ricky and Nancy share their story about starting Nopal and what led them to create Telling is Political, a project that gets its name from the introductory chapter of Dr. Maylei Blackwell’s book, Chicana Power. They also share some exciting news about Nopal’s work in opening up a coffee shop!
