Have you ever felt like you’re floating between cultures—never fully accepted in either one? Like your Spanish isn’t “fluent enough,” your features aren’t “Latina enough,” and yet you don’t feel fully seen in Black spaces either?

In this powerful episode, Dr. Onaysia Martinez — Afro-Latina, physical therapist turned identity liberation coach — shares a deeply personal story about growing up between cultures and how she finally stopped trying to fit in by choosing to stand fully in her truth.

✨ In this episode, you’ll learn:

What it means to carry duality in your identity as an Afro-Latina

How to stop performing your culture and start embodying it

Why your truth doesn’t need outside permission to be valid

How to return to your roots to reclaim power and peace

If you’ve ever thought: 🔎 “I don’t feel Latina enough.” 🔎 “I don’t fully belong anywhere.” 🔎 “Where do I fit in?” Then girl — this episode is going to hit your spirit.
