If you’re from the South, you know that Nuestra Gente have been written out of the history books. So we took it upon ourselves to bring you the history we were not taught in school.

The Nuestro South podcast debuted in 2019. Now, we’re back with new ingredients. Our stories feature illustrations by North Carolina artist, Antonio Alanis on our Youtube video episode. Our hosts Bryan, Daisy, Dorian, and Axel invite you to share in a rich conversation about growing up Latina/o/x in the South. You know the flavor. Welcome to Nuestro South, Refried!

Nuestro South Refried was our most ambitious effort up to that point. Post the disruption caused by the remote requirements by the covid pandemic, our team had to pivot to produce video episodes while being remote. This was the second round with our original hosts so we had the opportunity to flex our storytelling lessons learned and amp up our editing and production flow. 

Each of our hosts had to become skilled at managing production lighting, audio, and video equipment. We revamped our episode facilitation flow, and we contracted with a Latino artist to bring the narratives we were sharing from the book pages into beautiful art pieces. The ultimate product was a multimedia production that allowed us to share the story in video, audio, and graphical formats. We learned what capacity is required at the top end of production and how well we could integrate our team’s various skills into a final product.
