Listen "Growing In The "Mexican Beverly Hills" | Writer, NYT Contributor Erick Galindo"
Episode Synopsis
Today, we are going to talk about the “Mexican Beverly Hills."
It’s what one culture writer calls the city of Downey, the California city with nearly twice as many Hispanic residents than any other race in ethnicity. Here, residents are also higher-earning than other neighborhoods in Los Angeles with similar ethnic makeup.
In his piece for The New York Times, author and Downey resident Erick Galindo writes, that moving to and growing up in a place like Downey “shows that Latinos can live a life of relative wealth and influence in the United States without having to give up ties to their respective and diverse Latin American cultures. But it also exemplifies a distinctly American idea: the possibility of upward mobility across generations.”
We speak with Galindo about what a place like “Mexican Beverly Hills” means for Latinos, his family building generational wealth, and how Downey challenged his relationship with money.
No te lo quieres perder.
