I'm a nurse and a proud mexican 🇲🇽 I felt amazing being able to translate and advocate for mi gente at hospitals. In scary situations. I know they would've appreciated a doctor like these men especially. Seeing a familiar face in your corner in times that are scary and knowing they'll speak the same language is the difference between getting the care someone needs vs them getting brushed off. I'm so so proud of you guys! ¡Si se puede!

[@idalis-]

Couldn’t have said it any better! The sigh of relief patients have when they see not only Mexicano healthcare workers, but bilingual healthcare workers is the best and we need more!! 🥹

Most definitely, I’m currently in school. Im a store manager and I drive alot to school and work. One day I had a one on one with my advisor and she advised me to stop working. 😭😭😭I was so mad for the longest because how tf am I supposed to pay for everything? Also not To mention life back at home with a Mexican family is hard sometimes, and nobody seemed to understand me. But luckily I have found two mentors at my school who always help me and are lenient with dead lines. 🙏

[@Yrodriguez5]

Being a DACA recipient my eyes teared up when Irvin said he didn’t want to continue studying. I was in the same boat, now fast forward to a couple of years I will be receiving my masters in counseling psychology by December 2024!!! Thanks to Obama for giving us a chance. We are part of the future!! ❤❤ BEST EPISODE SO FAR!!

As a latina pursuing a Ph.D thank y’all so much for this amazing episode!! A lot of times we had to figure things out on our own which makes us even smarter and hard-working. This was an amazing episode and I hope it inspired all of the Latinos who want to become doctors, lawyers, and scholars ❤

The real influencers have stepped in to the Pod. It’s nice to see Latino men pursuing higher education and making their family’s sacrifice worth it. It’s comforting to see more Latinos achieving their educational goals. As college graduate and student, I respect the discipline. We need more raza in the medical field.

[@zairaramirez6943]

As a DACA recipient this podcast was very special. I had a special connection with Irving because many times I was told by counselors that I did not qualify for financial aid because I did not have a SSN. God had other plans for me and I was able to graduate from college will a full ride and graduated with my BSN. Now, I am traveling for work and I will be moving to CA from the East Coast all by myself as a young independent woman. To all my DACA recipients SI SE PUEDE!!! 🇲🇽

As a former college adviser at a Title I, low-income, majority Latino high school and district, this episode has me SO EMOTIONAL. These young men have so much to be proud of and I hope they know we're all proud of them and rooting for them too! So beautiful to see your community shine. And when they talked about how they're so grateful for each other.... LLORANDO FR

[@brendakinss]

I related hard to Irvin's story 🥺 I always knew growing up that my parents and I were immigrants, but I didn't know what that meant for myself and my future. Towards the end of my high school freshman year, all my friends started talking about getting summer jobs and that's when reality hit me that I was limited in the things I could do unlike my peers 😮‍💨 I felt that anger, resentment and frustration that Irvin mentions. I couldn't understand why my parents thought the US was a better opportunity for me when i couldn't even get into college without papers. I started thinking the same and thought, "What is all this for I'm doomed!" But similar to Irvin, that was the year DACA was announced. I remember the tears in my moms face and the shock and excitement on my dad's. My dad got on my application ASAP, and he didn't care what he had to pay they were gonna make sure they got me on DACA.

[@pm0697]

“ you guys are pioneers of our culture “ funny thing that Sebastian said this, Because I feel that Josh and Sebas are also pioneers! 🔥 keep it going mi gente.

[@jackeln]

Yes but it’s a whole different ball game Latino influencers thankfully are well represented, humble relatable Latinos in medicine is what the youth needs to see. I love it!

[@Salvamex17]

When I went to my graduate school interviews to become a mental health counselor I was the only Hispanic and I felt so overwhelmingly intimidated and when I entered the program I was the only Hispanic there. In my field it is rare to have counselors who are bilingual but now I see so many more than when I first became a counselor and it is so exciting to see! Congrats on your achievement guys!

[@alexatoribio]

The DACA story touched my heart bc when I tried to become a clinical psychologist, even shortly after daca, I was told it wasn’t realistic considering I couldn’t afford it and didn’t qualify for most scholarships ONLY due to my status. This came from a counselor and led to me changing my entire path. I don’t regret it but it hurts to know that this is the standard for how Latinos are treated in higher education. Still, I’m so happy to hear people like you guys chose to keep fighting and spreading this message!

[@jaxxlovve]

I love Sebas’s masculinity! 🙌🏼 The fact he had them express what they appreciate/love about each other was deep. It’s rare to see Latino men express themselves let alone express what they love about another man. Love this podcast, love the vibes, amazing way to start the month and week!! #1 Latino podcast for sure!!❤️ loved today’s episode!

[@jazydoll]

As a proud Mexicana with a Masters Degree that has an emphasis in Healthcare, this episode hits so different. ❤ I was the only Mexican in a cohort of 154 people. You truly feel like you don’t fit in because the people around you are so different and it’s hard to relate. But persevering through it and standing where I am now is the best feeling. I also, like these men, aspire to always help & support our younger generation in the Mexican / Latino community. We need more representation in higher education programs and degrees!

[@Y.P.3]

25:25 - when Irvin said “the higher you go up in your education, the less diversity…” can totally understand that. I'm also a first-gen Latina who went to grad school & had to pave my own way. I was very grateful to have my friend who was also in grad school (she went to UCLA & I went to USC) & we supported each other through our grad school journey! I had counselors, including a Latina counselor at one point, tell me something similar -- that not many Latinos take school seriously yet alone graduate. Let's continue to uplift our communities & pave the way for future Latino generations!! 👏👏

[@lizamichelle2431]

This was such a great episode. Sebas, I know it's all fun and you guys probably get along just fine despite any comments that are made, but it would be nice to see you be a little more mindful about the things you say to Josh. He doesn't quite speak to you the way you do to him, and it'd be nice to see you match his energy a little more.

Omg I was thinking the exact same thing. I was thinking he was a bit drunk but no excuses lately been feeling like Sebas is on some kind of energy.

[@jessiehernandez1853]

Speaking to Irvin’s point about undocumented folks not being eligible for federal loans, that’s because of a federal law (the Higher Education Act), that technically could be changed. Y’all should invite Latino lawyers who are the first in their families to become lawyers (even lawyers who are DACA recipients) to be featured about their journeys on La Platica 👀

It’s so refreshing to see ppl who look like you pursuing careers and talk about their struggles and goals. They’re not just basic influencers and that’s very inspiring!

But long story short, I’m first gen also, and I dropped out of CSUCI after my first semester because I felt so out of place and I got home sick. But I always knew I wanted to feel what it was going to feel like to walk the stage and get my bachelor’s. So don’t give up on your dream ✨ tu puedes 🫶🏼

STEM degrees can be life changing. My husband is an Engineer and I am an accountant as first gen, I feel the struggles they talked about. I love seeing first gen and Latinos pursuing higher education. Especially in a career as challenging as Medicine. I hope they continue to excel in their careers and wish them continued greatness. Also something no one talks about is how to navigate higher income with taxes, retirement, insurance etc. I have had to learn personal finance by myself. That even though the paycheck is great how can I allocate my money to taxes, retirement, investing ( mutual funds etc), health insurance etc. I see so many people make great incomes but spend all their money in the mamalona, lavish parties etc and have no money in investing, retirement etc.

[@Blanca7C]

I loved this episode so much! Please bring on more people like these men who are making a huge difference in our community! I completely related to these guys being a first gen Latina therapist (also graduated from UCLA!). Having to navigate these spaces where our people have been historically excluded on our own is a whole different challenge that many people don’t understand. But, knowing my patients feel seen when they have a therapist who speaks the language and understands their struggles on a different level, makes it all worth it! Please bring these men back on soon, they should be regulars lol

[@miangelito1191]

This was one of the most relatable stories that has been on this podcast for me. Irvin’s DACA story was similar to mine experience. My school counselor also told me not to shot high because I didn’t have papers. After years of working hard and being one of the top students of my high school, to hear her say that I had no future was hard. She said I wouldn’t have the money to pay for college. My mom was there and told her to kick rocks 🤣 that I would go to college no matter what. I graduated with a bachelors degree with a full ride scholarship. Now, I work as an immigration paralegal helping families with their immigration matters. Next it’s law school to help our people in the community. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise or allow them to dictate your future. Si se puede! ✊🏼

I know pursuing higher education is already hard as is so I just want to give props for all the extra hard work you are putting in. Much love and good luck on your careers. :)

They are doing it for US 🇲🇽✊🏼 and Sebas is right when he said they are the Trail Blazers and they will inspire soo many generations to come. Irving’s answer to why he wants to work ER is soo beautiful! I know that in CA undocumented people were only eligible for emergency services but this year that changed and they are now entitled to full scope services if eligible for Medical. Working in the eligibility world people don’t understand what a difference it’s makes in our community! Some people can’t afford to go to the doctor regularly and now they are able to! Love this episode is probably one of my favorite ❤

This was an awesome episode. This is what I love to see first generation peeps out here hustling and paving the path for others. These are the types of influencers we should be looking up too!!

I never heard of them but I loved this podcast so much. As a Latina who is pursuing Dietetics, it’s really hard sometimes to feel like you ARE enough and that you should keep pushing for success. The counselors and advisors I’ve had for the most part were not so helpful, but I made it work for myself bc you can’t hold yourself back for anyone.
