Conversations Over Cafecito: Father’s Day special edition

In this special Father’s Day edition of Conversations Over Cafecito, we honor the fathers and father figures who inspired our career paths of working toward ending domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking.

Through heartfelt reflections from members of the Esperanza United team – Vivian Huelgo, Leo Martínez, Pedro Reyna, and Zeenyace Flores – we explore how small gestures, words of encouragement, and lasting values leave a powerful imprint. This episode invites listeners to reflect on the influence of parenting and the deep connections that shape our sense of justice, resilience, and commitment to community healing.

Conversations Over Cafecito is a podcast by Esperanza United where we uplift Latin@ voices working to end domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking. Every story is a seed of change.
