Dis Us

Welcome to another blog post, folks! This time, we're giving you a recap of the final two episodes of season 1 of our podcast, "I'm Not Yelling! I'm Dominican." It was a thrilling exploration through our favorite music, drinks, classic movies, unforgettable TV shows, and influential figures who inspire us. As always, we guide our listeners on this journey, infusing our personal stories, deep insights, and, of course, lots of laughter.

Let's start with our music preferences. We grew up immersed in an eclectic mix of genres, including hip-hop, R&B, merengue, and salsa, largely influenced by our father's wide-ranging playlist. His taste in music, featuring classics from Lionel Richie, Stevie Wonder, and Linda Ronstadt, among others, didn't just shape our music preferences but also opened our minds to the lyrical power and beats of our favorite hip-hop artists.

We discussed our favorite cocktails and even delved into our newfound love for celery juice. We also recommended smooth rums like Barbancourt and Brugal 1888 but warned against the treacherous waters of Pusser Rum. As we noted, a good drink is more than just a beverage – it's an experience that brings people together.

Next, we took you on a journey through our favorite films. We delved into classics like "Coming to America" and "Good Fellas," exploring their narratives and the timeless elements that make these movies resonate. Whether it's the laugh-out-loud humor of Eddie Murphy or the raw realities depicted in mafia movies, these films have left an indelible mark on us and continue to entertain generations of viewers.

The conversation moved from the big screen to the small screen as Nachi and Damaris shared our favorite TV shows. From the high-fashion streets of "Sex and the City" to the raw realities of "Snowfall," we delved into the narratives that have shaped these timeless classics. We explored the characters' complexity, the storylines' depth, and the unique perspectives these shows offer.

In a more intimate segment, we talked about the people who inspire us - those we would jump at the chance to have lunch with. We shared our admiration for figures like Oprah and Derek Grace III, discussing their inspirational journeys and their impact on our lives.

To wrap up, Nachi and Damaris expressed gratitude for our podcast journey and the support we've received from our listeners. We encourage everyone to live life with purpose and joy. This episode was the perfect blend of entertainment, insight, and inspiration – a testament to our knack for creating engaging content.

In conclusion, these podcast episodes were a delightful exploration of the things we love and the people who inspire us. They remind us that life is full of flavors – from the drinks we enjoy to the films we watch and the people who influence us. As always, Nachi and Damaris strive to entertain, inspire, and bring joy through our podcast, and we can't wait for what's next. Stay tuned!
