We talk a lot on this show about representation, but what do you do when you look at a screen and you don't see yourself represented? Today's guest, Kenneth Castillo, answered that question by grabbing a camera and making his own independent film. And then another, and another... Kenneth tells us about how he built his independent film production company, his love of silent films, and you even get a spaghetti soup recipe!! Let's go!!

Hosted by Dominican actress and singer Darilyn Castillo, Morenita is a weekly conversation built around the nuanced realities of the Latinx experience. This isn't just a series of interviews; it's a deliberate gathering of voices. Each episode, Darilyn connects with Latinx actors, entrepreneurs, and activists, peeling back the layers of their public work to explore the personal journeys, challenges, and visions that drive them. The discussions are in-depth and meandering, often touching on society, culture, and the relationships that shape our communities. The aim is to move beyond simple inspiration, fostering a genuine sense of community among listeners who hear their own stories reflected in these dialogues. You'll hear guests dissect what it means to evolve our current spaces-whether in entertainment, business, or social justice-into something more inclusive and representative. Produced by My Cultura and Sonoro, the Morenita podcast serves as a living archive of contemporary Latinx thought and creativity, a place where the focus is on connection and the collective work of building a more nuanced future. Tune in for conversations that feel like catching up with old friends, ones who just happen to be reshaping the world around them.
