“You can't allow helplessness to turn into hopelessness.”

Antonio Tijerino of the Hispanic Heritage Foundation shared those words when he came to Minnesota in February. He came back and brought the Hispanic Heritage Awards here to honor the people of this state.

In the newest episode, Chanda sits down with Antonio to talk about that night at Orchestra Hall, what leadership asks of us right now, and what young people are carrying.

For the first time in its history, the Hispanic Heritage Awards came to Minnesota.

Antonio Tijerino, President and CEO of the Hispanic Heritage Foundation, brought the celebration to Minneapolis to recognize the People of Minnesota with the Humanitarian Award.

He reflects on what inspired that decision, the strength of community, and how moments of tragedy can also reveal extraordinary triumph.

“Within that tragedy was a triumph.”

Watch the full conversation tomorrow on Conversations with Chanda.

When Takema joined me in 2023, her grief was still raw.
Two years later, AJ’s story is reaching millions through The Perfect Neighbor on Netflix.

May her name and legacy continue to push us toward justice.

Today, Netflix released The Perfect Neighbor, the documentary sharing the story of AJ Owens, a mother of four whose life was stolen in an act of senseless violence.

We first shared this conversation with my friend and colleague Takema Robinson, who was thrust into the fight for justice for AJ back in 2023. We are re-airing that episode on KMOJ this Sunday at 11 a.m. and Thursday at 6 p.m. to honor AJ’s life, her legacy, and the movement born from her name.

Community, I’m asking that you watch, share, and amplify. Because telling our stories keeps us seen, and fighting for justice keeps us whole.
