The Wine & Chisme Podcast
The Wine & Chisme Podcast was created to share the stories of everyday people doing extraordinary things to serve their community. Our host, Jessica Yañez brings her love for wine and passion for storytelling together to highlight the stories that need to be told in communities of color. Chisme (Spanish for gossip) comes from the interviewees themselves as they "spill the wine" on their own terms. So grab a glass of wine and join us for the new Wednesday. #WineAndChismeWednesday

As we close out this month of reflection, I thought sharing Liz Hernandez’s journey and the importance of words was vital, And although this didn’t come out in 2022 it did come out at the end of 2021 so I think it counts. She has taken a path that many envy and ultimately changed course by starting her own company, Wordaful. And NOW she is back where it started as the host of 94.7 The Wave’s morning show.
