Christopher Rivas

What is the role of Brownness in a Black/white world? That's the question Dominican-Colombian-American actor, author and storyteller Christopher Rivas has been navigating his whole life. Listen as Chris discusses identity, careers, and taking up space with other Brown activists, creators and change-makers. Brown Enough is the stories between Black and white.

Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the feed to find Rubirosa, a ten-part documentary series about Porfirio Rubirosa, the Dominican diplomat, playboy, and international polo champion who was the inspiration for James Bond. The show tells the true story of Rubi’s incredible and complicated life and Chris learns what it can teach him about love, success, family, Hollywood, code-switching, white-washing, and the roller coaster of finding himself in a world not made for Brown folks like him.

This is a Bonus Episode from a talk I gave at a UNIDOS conference. I shared a story that starts with a misname - “Big Bunny” - and opens into something much deeper: what it means to be seen, unseen, and still essential in America. This talk explores how Latino communities have long powered this country while being misunderstood, reduced, or erased—and why that has to change.

Through personal story, cultural critique, and a call to action, this episode is about shifting from being treated like passengers to claiming our role as architects of the future. It’s about naming ourselves correctly, refusing silence, and understanding that our value was never up for debate. Because once we name something clearly, we can finally build with intention.

You Mean Bad Bunny

CHIRLA — the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights — is an organization that has been at the forefront of immigrant justice, advocacy, and community empowerment for decades. This isn’t just about policy, it’s about people. About families, futures, and the fundamental right to belong. We talk about organizing, resilience, and what it means to fight for dignity in a system that too often denies it. This episode is a reminder that behind every headline is a human story, and that real change happens when communities come together to demand something better.

Today on Brown Enough we're with Johnny Sibilly — actor, advocate, and full-spectrum joy dealer. You might know him from Pose, Hacks, or Queer as Folk, but Johnny’s real superpower is how boldly he shows up as himself. We talk about confidence, vulnerability, speaking God in public, chosen family, and what it means to take up space without apology.

Today we're joined by Saadia Khan — founder and CEO of Immigrantly Media. Saadia is building one of the most vital media platforms for immigrant voices today, creating space for stories that are often ignored, flattened, or misunderstood. We talk all about narrative power, nuance, representation, and what it takes to build independent media rooted in truth, dignity, and belonging. This conversation is about leadership, courage, and the responsibility and joy of telling our own stories.

We’re sharing a special crossover episode with Odalys Jasmine, journalist, host, and the voice behind Hella Latina. This conversation comes from a live panel where we gathered in real time to talk culture, identity, visibility, and what it means to claim space unapologetically as Latinas in media. Odalys has built Hella Latina into a bold, honest platform that centers our stories with humor, care, and clarity. This episode captures the electricity of that room — real voices, real questions, and the power of showing up together.

Today we're hanging with Marielle Segarra — journalist, editor, and the host of NPR’s Life Kit. Marielle has a gift for asking the questions we all carry quietly: how do we take care of ourselves, make better decisions, and live with a little more clarity in an overwhelming world. We talk about curiosity as a practice, about translating information into care, and about what it means to meet people where they are — with empathy, honesty, and tools that actually help. This is a conversation about living better, together.

Today we're joined by Yanely Espinal - also known as Ms. Be Helpful - financial educator, advocate, and author of Mind Your Money. Yanely is on a mission to make financial literacy clear, compassionate, and actually useful, especially for communities that were never taught the rules of the game. We talk about money as a tool, not a measure of worth. About debt, credit, generational wealth, and unlearning the shame that keeps so many of us stuck. This conversation is about empowerment, access, and how understanding your money can be an act of self-respect and collective care.

Imagine instead of James Bond it was…Jaime Bond, Javi Bond, Bondissimo. Well, guess what, y’all? The white, British character at the center of Ian Fleming’s super-successful franchise was actually based on a Dominican man. This podcast is the true story of Porfirio Rubirosa’s life, told by me, Christopher Rivas.
