Above and Beyond: Silencio Jamás Live Podcast

RAMA Blueprints

RAMA Blueprints Podcast presents their Tres Generacíones/Three Voices live podcast series at BRAVA Cabaret in San Francisco. The panel addresses the intersectionalities of insider/outsider, invisibility, homophobia, resilience, migration, ethnicity, race, class, and gender, the impact of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, and the history of social and political organization of LGBTQIA Latinos in the SF Mission District and Citywide.

This engaging live podcast includes a lively intergenerational conversation between Dr. Eduardo Morales (Founder and Executive Director, AGUILAS), Claudia Cabrera (Program Director, Si a La Vida, Instituto Familiar de La Raza), and Luka Fernandez (Participant, Promesas, Instituto Familiar de La Raza).

The Tres Generaciones/Three Voices live podcast series at Brava Cabaret features three guests representing three generations of expertise regarding the topic at hand. The intergenerational panelist consists of an elder in the field, a seasoned community worker, and an emerging young leader in the field. All have experience working towards building alliances through activism, art, organizing and empowerment.

Always framed through the Principles of The Real Alternatives Program (RAP), the discussion will seek solutions and future action steps that will hopefully build upon the findings of previous work to elevate the level of discussion and details for future action steps and conversations.

Founded in 2021, RAMA Blueprints is the first podcast documenting the history of the Real Alternatives Program (RAP) within the City and County of San Francisco between 1967 - 2003 along with its current impact on community empowerment in San Francisco and the country.

This conversation was held on June 27, 2024 at Brava Women for the Arts Cabaret in San Francisco's Mission District. This episode was produced and edited by Darren J. de Leon and Socorro Gamboa for the 5 Sisters Audio Garden.
