What does it mean to be “Latino enough”? We break down this debate within the Latino community, our own insecurities about our Latinidad, and the things we do to feel connected to our culture.

The Idaho Press presents The Latino Card. Each episode, hosts Rebecca De León, Nicole Foy and JJ Saldaña breakdown the stories that are making headlines in Idaho from the Latino perspective. They'll interview guests, do deep-dives into the subjects that matter most to Idaho's Latino community, and avoid throwing chanclas at one another when they make a bad pun.
