In this episode of In Our Cultures, I’m excited to introduce you to Mary Cable. I met Mary through our local gym when we both taught there. Mary is known as THE instructor to get if you want to experience a Zumba class. She is definitely a hot ticket.

We discuss:

• History of Zumba and what kind of fitness it is
• What to expect the first time you attend a Zumba class and how you know what to do despite no verbal cues
• Why Zumba is like a “gateway drug” into the gym
• Permission to let loose in class – no experience necessary!
• The difference between “Latino” and “LatinX”
• Latin culture surrounding family, food, and celebrations
• The importance of asking the questions to make change
• Brown lives for Black lives
• The hope for our children with integrating cultures 
• The pride of the Latin culture

Just like many of my conversations regarding race and culture, I’m a little awkward. I don’t always say the right thing, but I’m trying to learn. What I love about this conversation is Mary gives me permission, or some might say grace, to be imperfect, but to take that step forward.
