Que Lo Que Podcast
Shining a light on the Dominicans who are making an impact on and for our community -- from Florida to Portland and all points in between.
Summary
People who hail from the Caribbean island of the Dominican Republic are the fifth largest ethnic group in the United States. Their contributions to the American fabric of life are felt daily in every industry, including politics, sports, entertainment, law and medicine. And while they've changed the face of places like Boston and New York, they are energizing all kinds of places around the nation -- and the world.
Join Venus ahd Elbert from Miami, as we talk to our Dominican community's most gifted leaders - from old school veterans to rising trailblazers. Get a glimpse of not just to their personal journeys, but also to their take on some of today's hottest issues in the U.S. and abroad.
Whether its about the history we've made or the history we're making, you are sure to learn about something -- or someone -- you didn't know.
