Tamarindo

In this episode of Tamarindo, we sit down with Luis Cornejo, licensed therapist and host of the Queer Magic Podcast, to explore the power of chosen family in queer and Latine communities. Luis shares their personal journey and the vital role chosen family has played in their life, both personally and professionally. We discuss the emotional and cultural dynamics of navigating family expectations, the psychological impact of unsupported biological ties, and practical tools for building and maintaining supportive networks. Throughout the conversation, Luis offers insights on community care, setting healthy boundaries, and fostering collective healing — leaving listeners with affirmations and guidance for cultivating meaningful connections.
