In this episode of No Me Callo / I Won’t Stay Quiet, Jessica invites us to look inward and confront the moments we’ve been told: “This is not your place / Este no es tu lugar.” Words that don’t just sting in the moment, but settle into our bones, shaping how we see ourselves and how the world sees us.
Through raw and personal stories, like carrying shame for her name, being made to feel invisible in classrooms, and finding the courage to reclaim her space, Jessica reveals how these painful experiences can break us down, but also ignite the fire to rise stronger, louder, and unapologetically ourselves.

An intimate, honest, and defiant episode that reminds us we belong everywhere our feet touch, and that our presence is not only valid, it is powerful.

Here’s the book mentioned in the episode: Crying in the Bathroom by Erika L. Sánchez.

En este episodio de No Me Callo / I Won’t Stay Quiet, Jessica nos invita a mirar hacia adentro y enfrentar los momentos en los que se nos ha dicho: “Este no es tu lugar / This is not your place.” Palabras que no solo duelen en el momento, sino que se asientan en nuestros huesos, moldeando cómo nos vemos a nosotros mismos y cómo nos ve el mundo.
A través de historias personales y profundas, como cargar con la verguenza por su nombre, sentirse invisible en las aulas y encontrar el valor para reclamar su espacio, Jessica revela cómo estas experiencias dolorosas pueden debilitarnos, pero también encender el fuego para levantarnos más fuertes, más audaces y sin pedir disculpas por quienes somos.

Un episodio íntimo, honesto y desafiante que nos recuerda que pertenecemos a todos los lugares donde ponemos nuestros pies, y que nuestra presencia no solo es válida, sino poderosa.

Aquí está el libro mencionado en el episodio: Crying in the Bathroom de Erika L. Sánchez.

In this episode of No Me Callo / I Won’t Stay Quiet, Jessica invites us to look inward and reflect on what we carry in life from the light and love-filled things, like culture, music, values, and the memories that sustain us, as well as the heavy ones, born from pain, silent struggles, and the wounds we rarely share.

Through personal stories from helping her dad at work under the hot sun to learning humility and generosity from her mom. Jessica explores how these burdens shape who we are and how we choose what to hold on to and what to let go of. An intimate, honest, and resilient episode that reminds us that asking for help doesn’t make us weaker, and that sometimes, being brave means speaking straight from the heart.

Here’s the book mentioned in the episode: Bless Me, Ultima by Rudolfo Anaya.
