In this episode, I interview Vanessa Avalos, who is the owner of Luna y Cielo Play Café, a bilingual Spanish playroom where parents can receive support in celebrating our culture and keeping our Spanish language alive with their children.
Vanessa shares what inspired her to create the first bilingual Spanish playroom in Chicago. She also shares how her upbringing of only speaking English impacted the way she is mothering and raising bilingual children.
You can visit Luna y Cielo Play Café on their website, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok
