- 0:28Speaker 1: THEOS and this is my last look at a radio
- 0:31Speaker 1: is a podcast archiving the brilliance and legacies of women
- 0:35Speaker 1: and fems of color, and this is welcome. I cannot
- 0:40Speaker 1: every time we record. I'm honestly just beside myself with
- 0:44Speaker 1: with how many we've done at this point. Listen for
- 0:47Speaker 1: the last year I wrote personally as a goal that
- 0:51Speaker 1: Local thought I would have ten episodes, and look at it.
- 0:54Speaker 1: We are double look at us now. I am very
- 0:58Speaker 1: thrilled to be here today, so am I. And you
- 1:01Speaker 1: know what, Like I was just thinking that, you know,
- 1:04Speaker 1: I've started other projects in the past, Like I think
- 1:06Speaker 1: all of us have lots of ideas we want to
- 1:09Speaker 1: do different projects. We might get something started, but for
- 1:12Speaker 1: me to actually like commit to something like this that
- 1:15Speaker 1: is like independent. We're not really getting paid for it.
- 1:19Speaker 1: It's not mandatory, it's not school, it's not work. But
- 1:22Speaker 1: we have like stuck it out and we're doing it.
- 1:24Speaker 1: I'm very impressed with us. Yeah, you know, I really
- 1:27Speaker 1: think it when you have a partner to hold the
- 1:29Speaker 1: both of you accountable. Oh yeah, and be like, bitch,
- 1:31Speaker 1: you said you were going to do this exactly, so
- 1:34Speaker 1: let's get it date, let's get it done. And then also,
- 1:36Speaker 1: of course our local their support. Honestly, like, the amount
- 1:42Speaker 1: of love that we get from our listeners is a
- 1:44Speaker 1: huge motivating factor. I completely agree that the ms, the
- 1:49Speaker 1: common the replies to our story is everything everything. I mean,
- 1:54Speaker 1: you guys ride for us, You ride for us so much.
- 1:57Speaker 1: In fact, we have so many updates, so let's get started.
- 2:01Speaker 1: So we want to congratulate our dear friend for her
- 2:06Speaker 1: book release, as they all remember for Cano, so we
- 2:09Speaker 1: did an interview with her. So since then she had
- 2:12Speaker 1: her book release party for yes, and oh my god,
- 2:15Speaker 1: the book release, like, Yessica blew that ship out of
- 2:19Speaker 1: the water, Like, I don't know the last time a
- 2:22Speaker 1: book of poetry had a book release that was so
- 2:25Speaker 1: fucking lit and turned up and it was a it
- 2:28Speaker 1: was a poetry party, Yessica, I like dubbed her officially
- 2:32Speaker 1: the high Priestess of poetry, Like she really summoned all
- 2:37Speaker 1: these badass bitches to come out to her event. She
- 2:40Speaker 1: had all these amazing poets, like legendary poems. It was
- 2:42Speaker 1: for me. People got to a full house, full house,
- 2:47Speaker 1: people got turned away, like you said, and it was
- 2:50Speaker 1: so fun and we laughed, we cried, we were just moved.
- 2:54Speaker 1: It was fun. Like Cardian b was playing. It was
- 2:57Speaker 1: everything that you could hope for. I was really happy
- 3:00Speaker 1: for her, me too, and her beautiful Oh my god,
- 3:04Speaker 1: I'm a listener, A follower had made for her right.
- 3:08Speaker 1: So it was just such a beautiful night of love
- 3:10Speaker 1: and good energy and feelings and fierceness. At the same time.
- 3:16Speaker 1: We felt lots of feelings. We were feeling the field.
- 3:19Speaker 1: Mama was there looking like a beautiful lemon. Thank you,
- 3:23Speaker 1: Thank you so much. I loved my fashion Nova outfit.
- 3:26Speaker 1: When I saw it, I was like, oh my god,
- 3:29Speaker 1: Jackie from that seventy show is a millennial chicano An.
- 3:35Speaker 1: I fucking love it. I'm so into it because I
- 3:38Speaker 1: feel like the clothes in the seventies, especially when we
- 3:40Speaker 1: think about like the tight pants right ending. I think
- 3:46Speaker 1: it's the combination of the pants being both flared at
- 3:49Speaker 1: the bottom but also being form fitting anti wasted. It's
- 3:54Speaker 1: the best for like a curvy bitch like myself. That
- 3:57Speaker 1: is the sort of like detail ling that really helps
- 4:01Speaker 1: to balance out your shape and it's very complementary. So
- 4:04Speaker 1: I'm really into it. I love it. Mama rocks the
- 4:06Speaker 1: funk out of a two piece set, so she was
- 4:09Speaker 1: looking like a beautiful lemon um and then you know,
- 4:12Speaker 1: folks got turned away. But fortunately, fortunately, and you know
- 4:16Speaker 1: Yessica had no control over that. By the way, it
- 4:19Speaker 1: was like, just what is it when you can't have
- 4:22Speaker 1: more than X amount of people with the capacity people
- 4:24Speaker 1: if you don't want the fire marshal to come. So
- 4:29Speaker 1: I mean, in addition, she's also having a second book
- 4:32Speaker 1: release because she's extra, we are extra and we're hosting it.
- 4:36Speaker 1: So we're super excited. What are the details, Mala. So

- 9:26Speaker 1: So we're launching it at the exact same time this
- 9:29Speaker 1: is live, so we created a Patreon. We have different
- 9:32Speaker 1: incentives for our localmotives and we want to read them
- 9:36Speaker 1: to y'all and talk about it because they're really really
- 9:38Speaker 1: they're really cute. So our first tier is two dollars
- 9:43Speaker 1: and it's standard our local and then the next one
- 9:49Speaker 1: my lad we and also we came up with these
- 9:53Speaker 1: like tears Um yesterday and we're really proud of them,
- 9:58Speaker 1: especially the names that we've been given to them. So
- 10:00Speaker 1: the next one is La No, the next one is sorry,
- 10:06Speaker 1: I'm getting ahead of myself, and the Lamasa that's the
- 10:15Speaker 1: final one. That's the final one. And then each tier
- 10:17Speaker 1: has different incentives which y'all can read about. And you know,
- 10:21Speaker 1: our locomotives have asked different ways that they can support us,
- 10:25Speaker 1: and this was one way that y'all can help in
- 10:27Speaker 1: the production of the podcast because y'all know that you're
- 10:29Speaker 1: an essential part of us even creating. So if you
- 10:33Speaker 1: if it's available to you, if you can donate, that
- 10:36Speaker 1: would be amazing. If not, that's totally cool. If you
- 10:39Speaker 1: want to go ahead and share it, that would be

- 11:22Speaker 1: is a really great incentive and a goal for us.
- 11:24Speaker 1: So we're really excited to be launching this Patreon. So

- 12:21Speaker 1: we're actually going to go into a song break early
- 12:24Speaker 1: because we have a lot of content for today and
- 12:34Speaker 1: friends and friends and friends and friends, friends and friends
- 12:49Speaker 1: and friends and friends and we're bad, all right, So
- 13:18Speaker 1: let's get into our main, our main exactly meeting. This
- 13:27Speaker 1: has been like obviously, like the entire year has been
- 13:30Speaker 1: a whirlwind, and there's always a crisis and some blow up,
- 13:34Speaker 1: some scandal something going on, and most recently, what's really
- 13:39Speaker 1: just shaken up, um, Hollywood, all over the news, all
- 13:43Speaker 1: over media has been you know, the sexual abuses and
- 13:46Speaker 1: harassment committed by Harvey Weinstein and all of his decades
- 13:52Speaker 1: of harassing and assaulting and abusing women in Hollywood now
- 13:55Speaker 1: being exposed, finally publicly, something that the Street has known about,
- 14:01Speaker 1: has talked about, rumored, you know, obviously for somebody of
- 14:07Speaker 1: that big right, for these hundreds of cases to never
- 14:11Speaker 1: really make it publicly. He had people helping him to
- 14:13Speaker 1: cover it up, right, But now it's it's all been exposed.
- 14:18Speaker 1: I mean, men like Ben Affleck and Matt Damon like,
- 14:22Speaker 1: we're also you know, out it. In the process of
- 14:28Speaker 1: them basically lending their voice and speaking out against Harvey Weinstein,
- 14:33Speaker 1: then all these other people came out of the woodwork
- 14:35Speaker 1: and they were like, well, wait, wait, wait, wait a minute.
- 14:38Speaker 1: The word I'm looking for I was looking for is
- 14:39Speaker 1: like they were accomplices as well as how many of
- 14:42Speaker 1: these men knew what was going on. But we're like,
- 14:45Speaker 1: this doesn't concern me, right, everybody everybody, everybody that worked
- 14:49Speaker 1: around Weinstein, next to him, over him, under him. I
- 14:54Speaker 1: mean it goes back to the not all men, and
- 14:56Speaker 1: it's like, well, that's not my problem. I didn't do it.
- 14:59Speaker 1: I think it's ties into what we've talked about in
- 15:01Speaker 1: this in this on the show before with Creature and
- 15:04Speaker 1: cheesemans ethical cheeseman. Right, So it's like an unspoken thing
- 15:08Speaker 1: of how do the how did these women keep each
- 15:10Speaker 1: other safe? And were they letting each other know like, hey,
- 15:12Speaker 1: did did you work with him? Did something happen? Are
- 15:16Speaker 1: you okay? Type of thing? Right, What we're hearing from
- 15:18Speaker 1: a lot of the different actresses is there really was
- 15:21Speaker 1: this sort of unspoken rule like don't take a meeting
- 15:24Speaker 1: alone with Harvey Weinstein because we've heard these horror stories
- 15:28Speaker 1: and we know that this can happen, right, And so
- 15:32Speaker 1: what we've seen from this Harvey wein Weinstein cases that
- 15:36Speaker 1: there was a hashtag kit that came out of it, right,
- 15:38Speaker 1: So the hashtag me too, UM, and I also wanted
- 15:42Speaker 1: to give some some history that UM. A black woman
- 15:45Speaker 1: named Toronto Burke created a nonprofit that helps victims of
- 15:49Speaker 1: sexual harassment and assault. So she wanted to give resources
- 15:52Speaker 1: to survivors, especially resources she didn't see you were available
- 15:55Speaker 1: or that were available to her. And she named her
- 15:58Speaker 1: movement met to, so also giving her credit to the
- 16:02Speaker 1: me me to hashtag. Yeah, and I read you know
- 16:06Speaker 1: this article They had interviewed her and UM on CNN
- 16:11Speaker 1: dot com. This piece came out about Toronto Burke and
- 16:13Speaker 1: the origins of the me to campaign, And she talks about,
- 16:17Speaker 1: you know, being a camp counselor and having a young girl, um,
- 16:21Speaker 1: come up to her and disclose really horrific details of
- 16:24Speaker 1: the child sexual abuse she was experiencing and at the time,
- 16:27Speaker 1: Toronto Burke not knowing what to say or how to respond,
- 16:31Speaker 1: and not feeling equipped to help this young girl and
- 16:35Speaker 1: instead telling her, you know, I don't think I can
- 16:37Speaker 1: help you. Maybe I can send redirect you to a
- 16:39Speaker 1: different counselor. And how and Toronto Burke talked about in
- 16:42Speaker 1: the CNN article how that moment really haunted her, you know,
- 16:46Speaker 1: and why couldn't she muster up the response for her
- 16:50Speaker 1: or muster up the courage to say, well, me too, honey,
- 16:52Speaker 1: It's not just you, me too? And like the me
- 16:55Speaker 1: too movement being a conversation between survivors. I've heard Toronto
- 17:00Speaker 1: talk about that being her intention, you know, like a
- 17:03Speaker 1: solidarity movement, right And then so we can see that
- 17:07Speaker 1: how that was happening online, right like virtually, like folks
- 17:11Speaker 1: survivors connecting with each other with the hashtag meat too
- 17:15Speaker 1: write and um, I think that what we wanted to
- 17:18Speaker 1: do in talking about Harvey Weinstein, you know, we wanted
- 17:21Speaker 1: to give the general overview of what's going on, but
- 17:24Speaker 1: we want to give our own perspective and our own take, right.
- 17:27Speaker 1: And of course you know we record here in l A.
- 17:30Speaker 1: We're both like born and raised in Los Angeles. UM,
- 17:34Speaker 1: Hollywood is a big part of l A. Although there
- 17:36Speaker 1: are so many different parts of l A. And for
- 17:39Speaker 1: every Harvey Weinstein, for every Um you know, Dr Luke,
- 17:44Speaker 1: for every producer and media mogul who has assaulted and
- 17:47Speaker 1: harassed high powered, wealthy white women who are actresses and
- 17:53Speaker 1: singers and artists who have teams of attorneys, those same
- 17:56Speaker 1: men also have access to lots of other types of
- 17:59Speaker 1: women and right, so we here are we're hearing a
- 18:02Speaker 1: lot in the Weinstein situation from white actresses, right, even
- 18:07Speaker 1: the likes of Angelina Jolie, like big names Gwyneth Paltrow
- 18:13Speaker 1: and UM. But we haven't really heard from our women
- 18:16Speaker 1: of color, both who are working as actresses and otherwise
- 18:19Speaker 1: who these men would have proximity too. And it was
- 18:22Speaker 1: just recently, actually that Lupita Nyongo came out with an
- 18:26Speaker 1: op ed that she wrote UM talking about what she
- 18:30Speaker 1: experienced with Harvey Weinstein and that she too had been
- 18:34Speaker 1: sexually harassed by him and made very uncomfortable. So she
- 18:38Speaker 1: wrote an op ed um for The New York Times,
- 18:40Speaker 1: and I would really encourage you to check it out
- 18:43Speaker 1: and read her words. Um. And this was an experience
- 18:46Speaker 1: she had um while she was still a student at
- 18:49Speaker 1: the Yale School of Drama, so before her career really
- 18:51Speaker 1: even took off. And one of the reasons why she
- 18:54Speaker 1: was really, you know, scared about dealing with him or
- 18:58Speaker 1: talking about him, was because he made a comment to
- 19:00Speaker 1: her that you know, I'm sure you'll be fine, but
- 19:03Speaker 1: I don't know if your career will be fine, right
- 19:05Speaker 1: if she she wasn't willing to engage with him in
- 19:07Speaker 1: like this inappropriate behavior, right, right, And that's the fear
- 19:11Speaker 1: I think, uh, in in any position, like as a survivor,
- 19:16Speaker 1: you wonder what's going to happen when you reveal who
- 19:19Speaker 1: the perpetrator is, right, especially if this person is in
- 19:23Speaker 1: a position of power as a professor, a teacher, some
- 19:27Speaker 1: type of person in the community that has like all
- 19:30Speaker 1: this quote respect. So there's always that fear of like, well,
- 19:33Speaker 1: is anyone even going to believe me? And then what's
- 19:35Speaker 1: going to happen to me when all of my ship
- 19:37Speaker 1: is out there exactly, So we're not hearing from women
- 19:41Speaker 1: of color because you know, clearly women of color, as
- 19:44Speaker 1: far as hierarchies goes, are much lower on the totem
- 19:47Speaker 1: pole than white women. UM And I also want us
- 19:52Speaker 1: to talk about, you know, being from l A, growing
- 19:54Speaker 1: up in l A, Latinos, the Latino community, we have
- 19:57Speaker 1: a lot of proximity to Hollywood. We have lot of
- 20:00Speaker 1: interaction with Hollywood, not necessarily um as decision makers or
- 20:05Speaker 1: power players or owners of companies. Um and they're really
- 20:11Speaker 1: but we exist in a lot of ways like doing
- 20:15Speaker 1: like you need to think of the fact that wealthy
- 20:17Speaker 1: people on the West Side, that actors and actresses have
- 20:20Speaker 1: teams and throngs of gardeners, of domestic help, of nanni's
- 20:26Speaker 1: of maids. They don't raise their own kids. Right. So
- 20:29Speaker 1: you can bet that for every Harvey Weinstein, how many
- 20:32Speaker 1: women of color were around him all those years, working
- 20:36Speaker 1: in his home, working in his offices, janitors who tend
- 20:40Speaker 1: to be women, women of color, undocumented women, right, and
- 20:45Speaker 1: how many of them have experienced abuse from these executives,
- 20:49Speaker 1: and they really will never be able to talk about
- 20:52Speaker 1: what happened to them. We really will never hear their stories?
- 20:55Speaker 1: Yeah you yeah, you bring a really great point. Um So,
- 20:59Speaker 1: what so what does mean when you're essentially voiceless? Right? So,
- 21:03Speaker 1: who gets to hear your story? Who get who do
- 21:05Speaker 1: you get to tell? When you're so low on the
- 21:09Speaker 1: totem pole, Like you said, in the hierarchy, we're talking
- 21:11Speaker 1: about race, and then we're also talking about class, right
- 21:14Speaker 1: and gender absolutely so, so what resources exactly and the
- 21:19Speaker 1: reason why, you know, I want us to imagine and
- 21:25Speaker 1: consider the very high likelihood that you know, women of
- 21:29Speaker 1: color employed by these men, especially even at the lowest levels,
- 21:34Speaker 1: as as far as power recognition, social capital, as domestic helpers,
- 21:39Speaker 1: as as janitors. Um is, because there is a history,
- 21:43Speaker 1: a very long history, a reality of women working in
- 21:47Speaker 1: those positions being raped by the men that are employing them,
- 21:52Speaker 1: being harassed by the families that employ them. There's a
- 21:55Speaker 1: very long history that includes history of you know, the
- 22:00Speaker 1: institution of American slavery in the United States and how
- 22:03Speaker 1: sexual violence was a very real, everyday part of slavery
- 22:09Speaker 1: of the institution, and it's something that we have seen
- 22:12Speaker 1: historical examples of men in power having inappropriate relationships with
- 22:17Speaker 1: the women employed in their homes. Right, And we do
- 22:19Speaker 1: have an example, We do have an example. So was
- 22:22Speaker 1: this what the early two thousands, And it's been a
- 22:25Speaker 1: while in a while, Um, I'm sure you all remember
- 22:28Speaker 1: Arnold Schwarzenegger and his whole scandal. Scandal that was a
- 22:34Speaker 1: real was a real scandal. And even when doing the
- 22:37Speaker 1: research for this capital So if you all remember, or
- 22:40Speaker 1: if you don't remember, let me refresh your memory. So
- 22:44Speaker 1: he had a domestic worker, housekeeper. She lived there. Um,
- 22:49Speaker 1: her name is Mildred Vienna, and she um had his
- 22:55Speaker 1: baby essentially, not essentially, actually she gave birth to the
- 23:00Speaker 1: old And when doing the research, come, I came to
- 23:03Speaker 1: find out that she was pregnant at the same time
- 23:05Speaker 1: that Maria Streiver, his wife, was pregnant with their youngest child.
- 23:09Speaker 1: So at the exact same time, these two women living
- 23:12Speaker 1: under the same house were pregnant with the same man's child, right, Um,
- 23:19Speaker 1: So I mean, and Maria Streiver had no idea, had
- 23:22Speaker 1: no idea, And like you know, we can talk about consent,
- 23:26Speaker 1: and we can talk about you know, it was a
- 23:27Speaker 1: consensual relationship. Maybe it is, maybe it was, maybe it
- 23:30Speaker 1: wasn't but when there's that type of power dynamic, you
- 23:32Speaker 1: have to wonder like was this actually consensual? Right? Could
- 23:36Speaker 1: she have lost her job had she said no? Right?
- 23:40Speaker 1: So that there she pressured? Was she pressured? She she
- 23:44Speaker 1: was also married, and I don't know if this was
- 23:47Speaker 1: her first child. I think it was um but that
- 23:50Speaker 1: was a really big deal. That was a really big scandal, right,
- 23:53Speaker 1: So this is that was one of the ones that
- 23:55Speaker 1: came to light, right it was revealed. And I do
- 23:58Speaker 1: want to also point out that any time you have
- 24:01Speaker 1: a story breakout in the news about a man in
- 24:05Speaker 1: a position of power and like inappropriate or downright violent
- 24:10Speaker 1: or abusive like sexual activity, it's always framed as a scandal.
- 24:15Speaker 1: Everything is a scandal, and it's like a euphemism to
- 24:18Speaker 1: kind of neutralize the power imbalance and to make it
- 24:21Speaker 1: seem like, well, nope, these are just two people acting
- 24:24Speaker 1: out and being you know, wow, you know, and cheating
- 24:26Speaker 1: on everybody. But like they describe Harvey Weinstein as the
- 24:31Speaker 1: Harvey Weinstein scandal, we're talking about literal sexual assault exactly.
- 24:35Speaker 1: And there was also it was so frustrating to then
- 24:39Speaker 1: I think he started claiming that he was a sex addict.
- 24:41Speaker 1: So he had to go to rehab. So, no, I'm
- 24:43Speaker 1: not a sexual predators, I'm not a rapist. I have
- 24:46Speaker 1: an addiction. No, no, it's not the not the same
- 24:49Speaker 1: thing at all. And it's a cop out. It's a
- 24:51Speaker 1: cop out. It's a cop out. And so again, any
- 24:54Speaker 1: time we hear like stories about women being villain I right,
- 25:00Speaker 1: because of their affairs with men in high places. When
- 25:04Speaker 1: women and sex and the word scandal are in the news,
- 25:07Speaker 1: I have to ask, what really is going on? There
- 25:11Speaker 1: is there a power and balance here because usually there
- 25:14Speaker 1: is usually there is, yeah, And not only that, but
- 25:18Speaker 1: there's like personal stories, right being from l A for example,
- 25:21Speaker 1: So like in my family, like my grandmother when she
- 25:24Speaker 1: came to the United States, she was sixteen, and almost
- 25:26Speaker 1: right away she was working. She was working, like raising
- 25:30Speaker 1: kids and working as a nanny, as a domestic worker
- 25:33Speaker 1: on the West Side in homes in Beverly Hills. She
- 25:36Speaker 1: was working for the families of actors and actresses, which
- 25:40Speaker 1: that's not uncommon. A lot of Latinos are working for
- 25:44Speaker 1: people in media, people in the industry. It's like almost
- 25:47Speaker 1: all of us probably know somebody who works like for
- 25:51Speaker 1: a family. It's like Latinos are not in the media,
- 25:53Speaker 1: but they're in the background. Yes, they're they're raising these
- 25:56Speaker 1: families while these white people get to going building empire.
- 26:01Speaker 1: But they're the ones raising the families. So they're very
- 26:03Speaker 1: much moving the pieces in the family life. Oh yeah,
- 26:06Speaker 1: oh yeah. And like that's why, like Donald Trump talking
- 26:09Speaker 1: about how his kids are such a good reflection of him,
- 26:12Speaker 1: because he did such a great job raising them. He
- 26:14Speaker 1: didn't raise those kids, and neither did their mothers. Those
- 26:17Speaker 1: kids were most likely raised by by women of color,
- 26:20Speaker 1: immigrant women of color. And so my grandmother and working
- 26:23Speaker 1: in these homes you know that were like Hollywood homes,
- 26:26Speaker 1: she you know, and like grandmothers have this way of
- 26:28Speaker 1: kind of like telling stories of intense trauma, but just
- 26:31Speaker 1: kind of like mumbled under their breath, just as an aside,
- 26:35Speaker 1: you know, they're not by the way, by the way.
- 26:36Speaker 1: And then this happened to me. I'm like, what the fuck?
- 26:39Speaker 1: But throughout my life, my grandmother has sprinkled in just
- 26:42Speaker 1: like little tidbits here and there of this boss, this employer,
- 26:46Speaker 1: this man who works in Hollywood, touching her inappropriately and
- 26:51Speaker 1: her having to swat his hand off of her, and
- 26:53Speaker 1: finally she elbows him in the crotch because he won't
- 26:56Speaker 1: stop massaging her shoulders, or another their employer getting really
- 27:01Speaker 1: jealous that she was going to go out to dinner
- 27:03Speaker 1: with somebody and he hosed her down in the front
- 27:05Speaker 1: yard and just like all these are like, I think
- 27:08Speaker 1: that she had got hit a couple of different times. Um.
- 27:12Speaker 1: I have a family friend that I grew up with.
- 27:14Speaker 1: This girl and her mother is from Mexico City and
- 27:17Speaker 1: her mother was employed by the Hilton Harrison Nikki's family
- 27:22Speaker 1: and her situation. The cheeseman is that the mean one
- 27:26Speaker 1: was Mrs Hilton because homegirl, my friend's mom was like
- 27:30Speaker 1: young early twenties, is beautiful Mexicana, brown skin, curly hair,
- 27:36Speaker 1: a beautiful woman, and she was she this lady did
- 27:39Speaker 1: not like her and was not very nice to her.
- 27:42Speaker 1: So we have Hella like, if you want to know
- 27:44Speaker 1: about Hollywood families, I suggest find out who works for them,
- 27:48Speaker 1: because we're going to have the tea. Well, this is
- 27:50Speaker 1: also a good a good transition into a topic that
- 27:54Speaker 1: we were talking about, Mama, and I was about the
- 27:56Speaker 1: show Devious Maids, And you'll remember when this came out.
- 27:59Speaker 1: Even is like one of the creators, producers, whatever and um,
- 28:04Speaker 1: there was a lot of controversy because folks were upset
- 28:07Speaker 1: that there was going to be a show created about mates,
- 28:09Speaker 1: like right, so another trope, right, another stereotype that were
- 28:13Speaker 1: more blah blah blah all this stuff. And there's so
- 28:14Speaker 1: many nuances in a lot of different ways that you
- 28:16Speaker 1: can look at this, but we're not going to talk
- 28:18Speaker 1: about that right now. What we're going to talk about
- 28:20Speaker 1: how in the show, Like if you've seen, I've watched
- 28:23Speaker 1: a few seasons. I like to be critical and see
- 28:25Speaker 1: what's out there. So I've watched a few of the
- 28:28Speaker 1: seasons and I think that whatever opinion you may have,
- 28:32Speaker 1: it does show the sexual violence, the harassments that the
- 28:36Speaker 1: white men that are the rich ones that are powerful,
- 28:39Speaker 1: that have these mansions in Beverly Hills, and their wives
- 28:42Speaker 1: also mistreating the quote made the sexy latinas in the
- 28:47Speaker 1: sexy made outfits, uniforms, whatever, and like this type of
- 28:52Speaker 1: voyeurism of like the the men watching while they're like
- 28:55Speaker 1: dusting and cleaning or even like filming them and they
- 28:58Speaker 1: don't know, right, So these different things are portrayed and
- 29:01Speaker 1: listening to you talk about your grandma Natcha and the
- 29:04Speaker 1: other women that you've heard experience the other women that
- 29:07Speaker 1: women that have experienced it. I was also thinking about
- 29:10Speaker 1: the show and how it does bring that to light
- 29:12Speaker 1: in some way, you know, and of course not in
- 29:14Speaker 1: the same way. It's like, definitely it's sucking TV exactly,
- 29:18Speaker 1: it's you know, so it's definitely trivialized in a way
- 29:20Speaker 1: or maybe downplayed, but it is there, right so, and
- 29:24Speaker 1: I think that that's one way that we can even
- 29:26Speaker 1: see the show and like that it kind of it
- 29:29Speaker 1: gave power to that in a way, power that narrative exactly,
- 29:32Speaker 1: or it kind of gave light to that narrative exactly.
- 29:35Speaker 1: Because I think, right this, and we were talking about this,
- 29:38Speaker 1: why is there such this cultural Why culturally do we
- 29:42Speaker 1: have the existence of like the idea of like the
- 29:45Speaker 1: sexy made costume, the sexy French maid, right when we
- 29:49Speaker 1: know that, like when we're talking about domestic help of
- 29:53Speaker 1: a large percentage of those women are going to be
- 29:56Speaker 1: like older women, you know, undocumented women like senoras, a
- 30:01Speaker 1: lot of times, women of color who have families, and
- 30:04Speaker 1: that's like really difficult physical labor. There's really nothing sexy
- 30:07Speaker 1: about it. But where has that sexualization come from? Right?
- 30:13Speaker 1: We know that, like there's a lot of moheads who
- 30:16Speaker 1: work as janitors who have organized against the prevalence of
- 30:21Speaker 1: rape of janitors on the night shift. Right, there is
- 30:24Speaker 1: a historical linkage between women working, women cleaning, women working
- 30:30Speaker 1: in homes and being sexually assaulted. Right, So we see
- 30:35Speaker 1: this cultural phenomenon of sexualizing the maid. Well, that's coming
- 30:39Speaker 1: from a history of violence, sexual violence towards the main
- 30:43Speaker 1: and like colonial violence as well, if we're talking about
- 30:47Speaker 1: US slavery as well. Absolutely that sexual assaul sexual assault
- 30:53Speaker 1: was a mechanism, a driving mechanism of enslavement, you know,
- 30:57Speaker 1: I mean, I'm I'm positive that they're probably is also
- 31:00Speaker 1: a history of if we talk about like Spanish Portuguese
- 31:04Speaker 1: colonization of native people and forcing Native peoples into these
- 31:08Speaker 1: roles and the sexual violence perpetrated against Native peoples who
- 31:12Speaker 1: are now working in homes of Spaniards, of colonizers of Europeans.
- 31:17Speaker 1: It makes me think of this one scene in Caramelo
- 31:19Speaker 1: Um by Santras, which is kind of a subtle scene,
- 31:24Speaker 1: but this conversation just kind of like brings me to it.
- 31:27Speaker 1: And you know, there's this discussion of you know, Celia,
- 31:30Speaker 1: her grandmother in Mexico City, right when she was a
- 31:34Speaker 1: young girl, she was a teenager, and she was kind
- 31:36Speaker 1: of hired out to this wealthy Mexican or this middle
- 31:39Speaker 1: class Mexican family who lived in Mexico City. And so
- 31:44Speaker 1: the young woman kind of lives like in the servants quarters,
- 31:47Speaker 1: like in the pantry, and the young man of the family, um,
- 31:50Speaker 1: you know, who's very attractive. He starts sneaking into her
- 31:54Speaker 1: room at night and he starts sleeping with her, right,
- 31:57Speaker 1: and so it's supposed to be a love story, right
- 31:59Speaker 1: about how she, this poor girl you know from the Gumbo,
- 32:02Speaker 1: ends up marrying this this young man who's well er
- 32:06Speaker 1: off because she started working for his family. And there's
- 32:09Speaker 1: a line in there about how his parents, you know,
- 32:13Speaker 1: they kind of knew what was going on, or they
- 32:15Speaker 1: would kind of catch him seeking into her room, but
- 32:18Speaker 1: they wouldn't say anything to him. And there's a line
- 32:20Speaker 1: in Catemello that says, you know, it's kind of just
- 32:22Speaker 1: assumed that he has a right to the to the
- 32:24Speaker 1: girl who works in the house, right, And that's that
- 32:27Speaker 1: dynamic again that the woman working in the home as
- 32:31Speaker 1: a servant, as a domestic worker, that her body is
- 32:35Speaker 1: also like up for consumption, you know, right, the men
- 32:39Speaker 1: have access to it exactly, a right to her, right,
- 32:43Speaker 1: And you know, we can see this, like there's this
- 32:46Speaker 1: like fascination, this fetization of like sexual assault in the media,
- 32:52Speaker 1: like in in film and TV shows, Like there's so
- 32:57Speaker 1: like as as you're speaking and as you're you're talking
- 32:59Speaker 1: about Garmelo, thinking of all these scenes of like this
- 33:01Speaker 1: actually happening right of them, this man in the house
- 33:05Speaker 1: sexually assaulting a domestic worker. Right, we've seen this in
- 33:08Speaker 1: TV shows, We've seen this in movies. Well, where does
- 33:11Speaker 1: that come from? Exactly exactly there's that historical route and
- 33:16Speaker 1: it's also just so wild because you can think about
- 33:19Speaker 1: the fact that we've talked about this before on the podcast,
- 33:23Speaker 1: is that the most dangerous place for you as a
- 33:26Speaker 1: woman is probably you know, in your own home, because
- 33:29Speaker 1: the person most likely to hurt you, to harm you,
- 33:31Speaker 1: to abuse you is someone that you know. It's a
- 33:33Speaker 1: family member, it's a friend, it's someone you're in a
- 33:35Speaker 1: relationship with. So home itself can be a very dangerous place.
- 33:39Speaker 1: But but but work can also be a dangerous place,
- 33:43Speaker 1: right because women get harassed and assaulted at work all
- 33:45Speaker 1: the time. So now with like at home care attendants, nanny's, maidsgivers.
- 33:50Speaker 1: Not only is your home potentially dangerous, you don't know
- 33:53Speaker 1: what you're dealing with. At home work is also dangerous,
- 33:56Speaker 1: but you literally work in someone else's home, right, you know,
- 33:59Speaker 1: and the levels right. And then if you also live
- 34:02Speaker 1: for you work, right, there are many housekeepers nannies that
- 34:05Speaker 1: live on site. So then what you don't do you
- 34:09Speaker 1: have a safe home? No where is your safe space,
- 34:13Speaker 1: your safe place as a woman of color, as a
- 34:15Speaker 1: low income woman of color, quite possibly undocumented, you know.
- 34:21Speaker 1: And yeah, a lot of very wealthy people have like
- 34:24Speaker 1: still like servants quarters essentially, and their people live on
- 34:29Speaker 1: the property and they're there constantly, so that means that
- 34:31Speaker 1: they have access to them, you know. So yeah, there's
- 34:34Speaker 1: just so much like that goes into it. Um And
- 34:39Speaker 1: I really wonder if we will ever hear about those
- 34:43Speaker 1: stories and those women, because I guarantee they're there. I
- 34:46Speaker 1: know that they're to be They've always been there. Yes,
- 34:50Speaker 1: And we know the women of color face sexual violence
- 34:53Speaker 1: at a higher rate than white women, Do we know
- 34:56Speaker 1: that statistically statistically? Yes? Absolutely, a especially Native women and
- 35:02Speaker 1: Black women, very very high rates of sexual violence. UM.
- 35:07Speaker 1: And less access to help and to resources, which is
- 35:13Speaker 1: just that double bind, you know. Yeah, and like on
- 35:16Speaker 1: a different note, but of course still related to this
- 35:18Speaker 1: whole you know hashtag me too. Like I just want
- 35:20Speaker 1: to say, like, for any survivor that felt like they
- 35:25Speaker 1: didn't want to share their story, that's completely okay. Nobody
- 35:29Speaker 1: is entitled to that. I know me on a personal level, like,
- 35:32Speaker 1: I really wanted to engage in the me too hashtag,
- 35:34Speaker 1: but anytime I went to write something, I couldn't, Like
- 35:37Speaker 1: nothing could would come out of me, and I felt
- 35:40Speaker 1: like I can't do this. This is just too much,
- 35:42Speaker 1: you know. So it's like, if you were feeling that way,
- 35:45Speaker 1: that's completely valid, and I hope you took care of yourself. Yeah.
- 35:48Speaker 1: I think that there's a lot of social pressure to
- 35:51Speaker 1: publicly respond to every single new wave, every new crash
- 35:56Speaker 1: of news, every new crisis. Listen, Tomorrow, there will be
- 36:01Speaker 1: another crisis, there will be another call to action. Every day,
- 36:04Speaker 1: there's going to be something different. It is literally a
- 36:06Speaker 1: never ending loop of ridiculousness. And I know that I
- 36:12Speaker 1: cannot respond to everything. I can't, it's impossible. I can't,
- 36:16Speaker 1: And so like, don't also, don't feel guilty or don't
- 36:19Speaker 1: feel that pressure that I have to perform a response
- 36:23Speaker 1: right now. Absolutely, yeah, And I think at some point
- 36:26Speaker 1: you could people kind of also expect you to write
- 36:29Speaker 1: something or to publicly say something, yeah, to have a take.
- 36:33Speaker 1: I know, even my mom asked me if I like
- 36:34Speaker 1: shared a me too story and I was like, no, right,
- 36:38Speaker 1: I know I don't want to write. I don't want
- 36:40Speaker 1: to because then I'm like, okay, well which one? Yeah. No.
- 36:44Speaker 1: I also just I am so hesitant to put out
- 36:47Speaker 1: that type of information about myself on the internet on
- 36:51Speaker 1: a hashtag, which is each easily searchable. It's based because
- 36:54Speaker 1: hashtags are really great for, you know, connecting people and
- 36:57Speaker 1: ideas and connecting a conversation and getting a movement started.
- 37:01Speaker 1: But a hashtag is also sort of like a database
- 37:04Speaker 1: where you click on it and you see everybody who
- 37:06Speaker 1: has contributed. And do I necessarily want because we know
- 37:09Speaker 1: that there are very violent people on the internet. We
- 37:12Speaker 1: know about the four Chan and the Reddit. We know
- 37:15Speaker 1: about the alt right and the white supremacists who are
- 37:17Speaker 1: very much online, who have a lot of protection and
