About this episode
<p>When Journalist Zayda Rivera decided to become a witch, people in her life thought it was a joke–many did not take her seriously. Still, Zayda was confident in her choice to follow the ancient practice of brujería. </p> <p>Last year, Zayda published her debut children's book, Being Bruja: A Young Mystics Guide and its Spanish version, Vivir Bruja. This Brujería 101-guide provides easy to understand basics, and also a brief history of the practice. In this episode, Maria Hinojosa meets Zayda la Bruja, to dig deep into the ancient tradition and actually practice some brujeria together!</p> <p><strong>Latino USA is the longest-running news and culture radio program in the U.S., centering Latino stories and hosted by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Maria Hinojosa.</strong></p> <p><strong>Follow the show to get every episode.</strong></p> <p><strong>Want to support our independent journalism? </strong><a href="https://bit.ly/joinfuturoplus"><strong>Join Futuro+</strong></a><strong> for exclusive episodes, sneak peeks and behind-the-scenes chisme on Latino USA and all our podcasts.</strong></p> <p><strong>Follow us on </strong><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@futuromedia"><strong>TikTok</strong></a><strong> and </strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@LatinoUSA"><strong>YouTube</strong></a><strong>.
