I'm Not Yelling! I'm Dominican.
"I'm Not Yelling! I'm Dominican" podcast is hosted by Nachi and Damaris, two sisters raised in The Bronx, New York, by amazing Dominican parents. They experienced growing up in two separate cultures, which sometimes brought conflict when adapting to American traditions. Still, at the same time, they took much pride in their roots. Through bi-weekly fun conversations with friends and family, they will explore everyday life topics that have shaped their lives and talk about alternatives to vibing higher from their Dominican-American perspective. So sit back and grab your cafecito, tea, or wine, and let's vibe.
