Introducing Navigating Dos Mares: A Journey Through Latinx Identity and the Experience of Living Between Two Cultures

We are excited to announce the launch of Navigating Dos Mares, a new podcast hosted by cultural storyteller and author María Lopez Twena created for adult children of immigrants that explores the unique experiences of Latinx individuals living between two worlds. 

Navigating Dos Mares is an exploration of what it means to navigate the sea of collectivism in our own Latino homes and the sea of self-reliance and independence taught by American culture.

In every episode of Navigating Dos Mares, María Lopez Twena invites thought-provoking guests to share their personal stories about balancing two rich, yet sometimes conflicting, cultural identities. From food and family traditions to language and career paths, the podcast dives into the complexities, joys, and challenges that come with walking between two cultural worlds.

Whether it’s exploring the pride of Latinx heritage, the feeling of being caught between two homes, or the resilience and innovation of the Latinx community in the U.S. and abroad, Navigating Dos Mares offers a space for deep connection, introspection, and celebration.

Each episode takes listeners on a journey through the lived realities of Latinx individuals navigating the push and pull of their cultural backgrounds. 

If you’ve ever felt like you’re straddling two worlds or want to learn more about the power of cultural identity, Navigating Dos Mares is the podcast for you. It’s not just a show—it’s a community, a conversation, and a celebration of Latinx resilience.

With candid conversations, expert insights, and heartfelt stories, this podcast offers a powerful reminder that navigating two cultures can be challenging, but it’s also a source of strength and inspiration.
