Episode description

Latino USA is proud to feature an episode from Colorado Public Radio’s new ¿Quién Are We? podcast, which explores what it means to be Latino, Hispanic or Chicana... or however you identify. Host and journalist May Ortega shares stories about our wide-ranging identities and the beautiful things that make us who we are.

This episode from the series is about Allan Benavides, who grew up in Southern California in a family that loved baseball. Despite his family’s wishes, he couldn’t be a player. Still, Allan dreamed of working with the sport in some way. Eventually, he landed his dream job—in a town that was much whiter than the one he was from. Could he create a new sense of community and pride there among Latino baseball fans?
