Aida Rodriguez: Fighting Words

Aida is incredibly intelligent, funny, and strong. This special made me laugh for practically an hour straight. The documentary style peek into her very real story is also moving. This special offers a wide range of opportunities for people who've endured similar struggles to connect with Aida's plight, even find solace through her insight and unique brand of humor. Even as a mixed-race Latina I connected deeply with her story and how our cultures and an inner-city upbringing can shape identities, perspectives and life experiences. While the world often seems to only see the world on a spectrum of Black or White, Aida beautifully reminds us of all there is to explore in between.
