👋🏽 Hi there, !

It's JUNE already, and my 10-week newsletter experiment has passed its April expiration thanks to your constant support and feedback, thank you! Let's get to this week's edition of:

The P.O.C.H.O. Stuff Email

​Algo bien for a fun Friday.

Edition: Friday, June 7, 2024​

Picture 📸 • Optimism💖 • Cool Find 🕵🏽‍♂️ • Homework 📝 • Other Stuff 📢

PICTURE: 📸

I took a picture for you even though the sign said no photography!

This tiny graveyard at the top of the hill where a small chapel was built to commemorate the apparition of the Virgin Mary. My parents and I made the hike up the path to catch the view, the chapel, and the hidden graveyard.

OPTIMISM: 💖

A love-filled quote from a straight Latino man:

"Love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love, cannot be killed or swept aside." — Lin-Manuel Miranda

COOL FIND: 🕵🏽‍♂️

Among all the cool stuff I find on the internet, I have to tell you about an IG account that makes me smile all the time! It's from Justin Baldoni's Man Enough Podcast, @WeAreManEnough is a space for positive masculinity and is perfect for learning a bit or just smiling like today's round-up that celebrates grads. Among my favorites are the first-gen Latino dedicating his cap and gown to his dad, and the proud family who showed up for their new electrician's graduation. Check them all out here.

HOMEWORK: 📝

Cultural Book Swap by the Pool: Arrange a book swap by the pool with friends, where everyone brings books that celebrate multiculturalism, biculturalism, or LGBTQ+ themes. Relax by the poolside and dive into a good book that broadens your understanding of diverse experiences! 📚🏊‍♂️

OTHER STUFF: 📢

Last week I told you about TuYo Theatre's latest production; Pásale Pásale, inspired by our very own South Bay community and today I wanted you to hear it from someone else. Here's a great story from KPBS about the show:

You can use promo code POCHO to get $20 off general admission tickets for any show today through June 30th. If you're not in town or able to attend please consider giving them a follow on IG @tuyotheatre or facebook.com/tuyotheatre to stay up to date with what they are working on.

As always THANK YOU for opening these emails, I am truly grateful. I hope you enjoyed today's POCHO Stuff Email. Have a fantastic weekend, and see you next week!

With gratitude,

Tony U
