Brian Ovalles, a Black Latino from Washington Heights, talks about navigating spaces where he was culturally, racially and socio-economically different than his peers. From an early age, he felt like he was always having an away game yet he took every shot people thought he couldn’t make. And now, he’s dedicating his work pa’ la comunidad and transforming a poorly constructed food culture and system with his app, TOM (The Orange Market). In this episode, Brian unpacks imposter syndrome, his Black Latino identity and the story behind TOM.
