Ep.84: Merendiando with ana maria and Ale Higuera and Fer Sandoval Pezoa
November 9, 2022
“I love creating. I love telling stories and supporting others to tell their own stories. This is what I’m supposed to be doing right now. I love every part of it, the challenges and the joy that is to create with others and to share the work with community” – Ale Higuera
“At first, I was like “it’s naïve to base your work on joy and tenderness” and then I realized it’s something that we need, especially in a world where you’re working and you don’t have time to rest.” – Fer Sandoval Pezoa
