Israel and Sunem Tovar are first-gen Latine siblings and hosts of Money Noticias podcast.

If you’ve listened to their podcast, you know that their dynamic is so fun and supportive. That's why I asked them to join me on this episode - to talk about having the support of our family and our siblings as we live out and proud.

Although our lens in this episode is one of our Latine community, the topics we discuss are universal topics within our LGBTQ+ community. In this episode, we discuss:

• personal stories, touching on themes of sibling influence, personal identities, and the process of coming out as LGBTQ+ within our family. 
• Israel shares his journey of self-discovery and acceptance regarding his sexuality, emphasizing the role Sunem played in supporting him. 
• The challenges and nuances of learning how to share our voice so we can make an impact.
• Israel and Sunim also share their future plans for the Money Noticias podcast! We get the chisme! (aka the tea!)
