EP#42 MELTING THE ICE iN 2026
Episode 42 was supposed to be about 42 — Sech’s breakthrough album and what it meant for him/the culture as a Panamanian artist. But in true Reggaetón Con La Gata fashion, the moment demanded something else.
This is not a comfortable listen. It’s a necessary one.
This episode covers:
ICE, policing, and the continuity of state violence
The Atlantic slave trade as genocide — and why language matters
Why public outrage often only arrives when whiteness is harmed
The emotional labor Black women have carried for centuries
Liberal reform vs. abolitionist thought in 2026
What real allyship actually requires (and what it does not)
This episode also marks a boundary. After eight years of public education, La Gata reflects on burnout, self-preservation, and the need to step back from constantly narrating trauma — without abandoning truth, history, or purpose.
Raw. Unfiltered. Exhausted. Grounded.
