Nuestra ciudad, nuestras historias…our city, our stories

There’s a poster in the This Is Nashville studio that says “Our City, Our Stories.” And today it could say “Nuestra ciudad, nuestra historias.”

Eleven percent of Nashvillians identify as Hispanic or having Hispanic heritage and today we’re spending the hour with some of our Spanish-speaking neighbors: a coffee shop owner who can be found some days passing out free sweet bread to drivers stuck in traffic, a community health worker who brings care to people who need it most and a business leader who helps Hispanic entrepreneurs plug into the city’s power circles. Esto es Nashville.

You can also join us live on YouTube to get the visual show experience and share your thoughts.

This episode was produced by Josh Deepan. 

Guests

  • Juan Pablo, owner, JOS Fifteen Coffee Shop
  • Rosa Escobar, community health worker, Siloam Health
  • Yuri Cunza, Nashville Hispanic Chamber of Commerce President
