Episode 8: Dirty Laundry by Jecenia Isis Figueroa (Stream here)

In this episode we talk with featured playwright and poet and everything Jecenia Isis Figueroa about characters under duress, writing bilingually, and who is the first Latinx character in pop culture you can think of who lives in Boston. You know. Of all of the dozens and hundreds of Latinx characters from Boston that immediately leap to your mind.

Then we listen to Jecenia's short play Dirty Laundry, in which a couple struggle as to whether to support their son who stands accused of a heinous crime.
