🎙️ New Episode: A Cuban Trump Supporter in Miami? Let’s Talk About It (Part 1)
Politics, Identity & Art in Miami — A Bold Conversation with Coinslot
Hola familia —
This week’s episode of Growing Up Spanglish is different. It’s heavier, more complex — and honestly, it’s one of the most important conversations we’ve had yet.
We’re joined by Coinslot, a Cuban-Honduran artist whose work you’ve probably seen on murals around Miami or sparking conversation (and controversy) on your IG feed.
But today, he’s not just talking about art — he’s talking about identity, immigration, the media, and yes… why he supported Trump.
🧠 Before you make any assumptions, we invite you to listen.
This isn’t about “sides.” It’s about understanding how culture, class, colorism, and history collide — especially in a city like Miami, where no two immigrant stories are the same.
Here’s what we unpack in Part 1:
Why some Latinos and immigrants voted for Trump
The impact of social media, AI, and desensitization
Colorism within the Hispanic community
The immigration system — and one mother’s decades-long battle
The fear of history repeating itself
And how art becomes protest, memory, and voice
🎧 This episode is layered, passionate, and honest.
Whether you agree with everything or nothing — that’s the point. It’s okay to feel uncomfortable. What matters is that we’re listening. Listen to Part 1 now on Spotify:

Next week, Part 2 dives deeper into Coinslot’s work, creative process, and how he uses art to challenge the very systems we just discussed.
Gracias for growing with us,
– Roxy & KJ
P.S. We know this conversation will spark opinions. Keep it respectful. This community is built on dialogue, not division. 🧡
