We welcome in the studio, Puerto Rican film producer, writer, public health advocate, and podcaster, Debbie Perez, to talk about her work producing short films, and her Borikén Podcast, as a commitment to advocacy, history, pride, and identity building for the community in Puerto Rico, and the diaspora.

This conversation took place after the screening event at Holyoke Media, of the short film “Mataron a Pedro”, which she produced.
