Celebrating Mujeres & Latinx Representation in Media!
Comedy by Latinas. For Everyone.
Latina. What comes to mind when you hear that word? Strong, resilient, fierce, brown, beauty, hot, fire, chica, taco, wait who the F said that?! We are more than what we see portrayed in the media and Latinaish TV was created to celebrate the whole spectrum of who we are. Latinx culture has influenced so much of the American mainstream and the truth is, we too have been influenced by our non-Latinx counterparts. Our Latinaish TV aims to celebrate all of you, whoever that may be, without judgement. If you wanna be a chola, be a chola! If you wanna be basic, cheers betch, we got you. So come join the party, take a break and have a laugh on us. We promise you don’t even have to be Latina to get it. Well, maybe sometimes.
PsychoSocial and Latinaish TV have joined forces! Together PsychoSocial and Latinaish TV will be working on bringing you comedy skits about mental health and the Latinx Community! Their goal is to support mental health awareness by normalizing going to therapy and at the same time making you laught! Their collaborative season one will be all about going to therapy for the first time and called “Therapy Thursdays.” Stay tuned!
