In this powerful and hilarious episode, we sit down with content creator turned TV star Ken Starrrz for a deep dive into his incredible journey from growing up in the Bronx with a Dominican dad and Colombian mom, to becoming one of the most vibrant voices in digital media today.

Ken opens up about being a loud, creative kid in a traditional Latino household, getting fired from his last 9-to-5 working in the LGBTQ community, and how that moment pushed him headfirst into content creation. He shares the story of how a personal DM from Diddy led to him landing his own show on REVOLT TV, how Nick Cannon slid into his DMs to bring him on Wild ’N Out, and his thoughts on the importance of creating content that reflects the full spectrum of Latino culture—not just West Coast or Mexican perspectives.

We also talk about his community work—food drives, back-to-school events, and giving back to those in need—and his acting debut alongside the late Pop Smoke. Ken gets real about the challenges and triumphs of the industry and what’s next as he works to launch his own scripted TV show that will spotlight underrepresented East Coast Latino voices.

In this episode, we sit down with the dynamic Elizabeth Rodriguez—actress, Broadway star, and proud Nuyorican—for a conversation about her journey through some of television and theatre’s most impactful roles. From her breakout as Aleida Diaz on Orange Is the New Black to her polarizing turn as Paz Valdez on Power, Elizabeth opens up about the love, hate, and everything in between that comes with playing complex characters.

We also dive into her latest film Allswell in New York, a raw and heartfelt portrayal of sisterhood and struggle, co-starring fellow Latina powerhouses Daphne Rubin-Vega and Liza Colón-Zayas. Elizabeth shares how growing up on Manhattan’s Upper East Side as the daughter of Puerto Rican parents shaped her perspective—and her passion for telling real, rooted stories.

Plus, we talk about the growing wave of Latino narratives on stage, including Broadway’s current productions of Buena Vista Social Club and Real Women Have Curves, and why representation isn't just important—it's urgent.

This is an unfiltered, inspiring look at identity, resilience, and the magic that happens when Latinas rise together.

We catch up with Dominican newcomer Dionni6x, a rising artist reppin’ Barahona and Brentwood. Raised by her abuela after her mom migrated to the States, Dionni shares what it was like growing up surrounded by love, tradition—and Romeo Santos playing in the background.

We talk about her journey to the U.S. where she first visited a McDonald's, hitting her first ever studio session after high school, and launching her music career during the pandemic, uploading raw freestyles and clips on social media that started getting attention.

She opens up about her abuela—an educator—getting emotional when she buzzed off her long hair, and not quite vibing with her choosing music over college. But Dionni’s all heart and hustle.

Now, she’s working with heavyweights like Maffio and looking to to artists like El Alfa for career inspo.

From Barahona to the Studio, this is a story of Hustle, Heritage, and a love letter to RD.
