VIDEO Netflix Brown Love I Dascha Polanco, Julio Macias & JJ Soria On Vulnerability in Machismo Culture I Con Todo TV commercial 2020 • Toxic machismo carries a heavy impact on both men and women within the Latino community, and vulnerability is often suppressed as a side effect. Orange Is the New Black's Dascha Polanco welcomes Julio Macias (On My Block) and JJ Soria (Gentefied) to discuss the tough time we often have letting our guard down and how we can begin to dismantle the notion that we can't. This conversation derives from the podcast, Brown Love, in partnership with Futuro Media and Netflix's Con Todo. Brown Love is a six-episode podcast celebrating the multi-faceted US Latinx experience. Each week, host Dascha Polanco (Orange Is the New Black, Russian Doll and When They See Us) talks to Latinxs in Hollywood who are making space for communities to see themselves, tackling topics like machismo, self-care, comedy and the first-generation experience.It's available everywhere you get your podcasts.

Yeah, that one I got. 00:09 I want you both to take it, so you just start, J.J. 00:12 Well, excuse me. I'll start with that one. 00:15 I've realized just being vulnerable in a character 00:18 is easy for me, because I do it in life, 00:20 I'm open and honest, I don't... 00:23 You could judge me, it's fine. You know? 00:26 I'm okay with that, because I know who I am. Right? 00:29 So, the more honest you are with yourself 00:32 about who you are and your flaws, and what shortcomings, and what not... 00:38 being vulnerable is easier. 00:40 That's been my experience. 00:42 That's amazing. Because for me, vulnerability is... 00:45 is... When I feel vulnerable, I feel weak. 00:47 It's like, I cannot be vulnerable, this is so uncomfortable, 00:49 I gotta go out here, I gotta go somewhere else. 00:51 You know, for me, it's always like, I have to be protected. 00:55 I feel most comfortable when I'm strong, when it's not like, 00:59 "I can't tell somebody I need help." 01:00 You know what I mean? Like, me? Hell no. 01:02 I do my own thing, I'm independent. 01:04 You know? And at times, if... I'm learning now 01:07 that it's okay, at times, to be, like... 01:10 "Yes, please." 01:11 You know what that is? That's your ego. 01:13 You think it's ego? 01:14 Yeah, yeah. It's your ego trying to protect itself. 01:16 Ego isn't a bad word. Ego... It's like, we all have an ego. 01:19 Yes. 01:20 It's a matter of having a balanced ego 01:23 or a solid ego. I don't wanna say strong ego, but like-- 01:26 -A balance. Just... Yeah. -Yeah. 01:28 When you're able to withdraw from both... Yes. 01:30 I have to agree with you. I never thought about that, that's interesting. 01:32 So I challenge myself 01:34 whenever I feel, let's say, 01:36 when my machismo may kick in and... 01:39 let's say, a woman telling me something about myself, 01:42 saying I'm sensitive or something, I'm like, "I ain't sensitive. Whatever." 01:45 And then I check, I go, "No, no, no. Let's check in. 01:47 Let's check in. Maybe she's right. 01:49 Maybe you are coming from a place of this and that." 01:50 And I'll make sure that I'll address it, 'cause I wanna understand. 01:54 Right? I seek understanding. 01:56 And then, let's say she's right, I'm like, "You know what? You were right. 01:59 That's me... That was triggered by some part of me that..." 02:03 You know, I'll be vulnerable and open about whatever that is.- advertisement spot 2020
