Aida Rodriguez’s Fighting Words is more than a comedy special—it’s a raw, funny, and deeply personal reclamation of identity. From reuniting with her father in the Dominican Republic to spotlighting her Afro-Latina roots and Caribbean lineage, Rodriguez blends sharp wit with emotional depth. With a DJ set by Venus X setting the tone, she delivers a set that’s unfiltered, political, and proudly her own.
One Day at a Time is a thoughtful and refreshing take on Latinx family life, blending humor, heart, and real-world issues. While the show offers meaningful representation and important conversations, it reflects a common trend in Hollywood where Latinidad is portrayed through a limited lens—missing an opportunity to fully reflect the diversity of the community.
In her editor’s note for Enlatinidad, Katelina “Gata” Eccleston lays the foundation for a bold new media space centering comedy, culture, and commentary through a Latine lens. With her signature voice as a reggaetón historian and cultural critic, Gata challenges stereotypes, uplifts Afro-Latinx narratives, and invites readers to rethink what Latinidad truly looks and sounds like today.
