On this episode of LATiNAS, we celebrate Black History Month with host Tinabeth Piña, bringing you the show from the Caribbean Cultural Center African Diaspora Institute (CCCADI) as it marks its 50th anniversary. We go inside inside the historic institution, exploring its legacy, cultural impact, and continued importance. We also meet with Melody Capote, who shares the center’s powerful history and why spaces like CCCADI remain vital to our communities today.


Plus, we sit down with Yaimara Muñoz, an Afro Cuban designer, to discuss her eco-friendly fashion line and how sustainability and culture intersect in her work. Correspondent Isabel Ortiz brings us the story of Inspiración Latina Grace Bonilla, who is changing the face of leadership in New York City. While, correspondent Anny Ruiz Huayamabe catches up with Elaine del Valle, the writer & director of the film Brownsville Bred.


We also get some Real Talk Sin Filtro with four Dominicanas from CUNY'S Baruch College, who speak candidly about their Dominican pride! And as we celebrate the Month of Love, licensed marriage and family therapist Nicole Maldonado shares practical tips on building healthy, meaningful relationships. That — and so much more! #wepa
