When Katherine K. Nunez steps into a room, there’s a sense that something bold is about to unfold. This summer, she proved that instinct right with the launch of her talk series Tales of A Latina, a powerful platform where stories of identity, culture, and resilience collide with the spirit of Hip-Hop. As the show premiered on July 18, 2025, the series immediately sparked conversations that felt long overdue, setting a precedent for how Latina voices should be centered in media.
The very first episode made it clear that Katherine wasn’t here to play it safe. Sitting across from Kim Osorio, the pioneering journalist who made history as the first female Editor-in-Chief of The Source, Katherine opened her platform with a conversation that was as raw as it was necessary. Together, the two women spoke about navigating industries built to silence them, about surviving in spaces where their voices weren’t always welcome, and about the undeniable way Hip-Hop had shaped their journeys. That moment, captured on film, wasn’t just about looking back—it was about rewriting what the future of representation could look like.
From there, the season unfolded with the same level of urgency and intimacy. Katherine welcomed comedian and activist Rose “Black Rose” Severino, who brought laughter and sharp truth to the discussion of identity and politics. Radio personality Honey German sat in the hot seat, reflecting on the grind it took to carve out her space in an industry that constantly shifts beneath her feet. And when Dominican rapper Genny Genn joined the conversation, she carried the pulse of the streets with her, sharing not just her music but her vision of what it means to be a Latina artist breaking barriers in Hip-Hop. Each guest carried their own fire, and Katherine gave them the room to let it burn bright.
What makes Tales of A Latina stand apart is how seamlessly it weaves Hip-Hop into its DNA. Katherine doesn’t treat the culture as decoration or background noise. Instead, she highlights its influence as a lifeline, a soundtrack, and a philosophy of resilience that has shaped entire generations. Whether it was Kim Osorio reflecting on her editorial reign at The Source or Genny Genn dropping gems about her journey through the rap game, the conversations consistently circled back to Hip-Hop as both a mirror and a megaphone for Latina stories.
But behind the camera is where Katherine’s vision truly takes flight. Working alongside DC of Relentless Media, who produced and directed the series, she built a team that understood the power of storytelling at its core. Rachel Garcia-Kessel lent her skills as assistant producer, ensuring each detail was handled with precision. Frank Blenman oversaw both cinematography and sound, capturing the emotion and rhythm of each exchange, while also editing the episodes to maintain their integrity. The finishing touches came from William Henriquez, who brought his talents to the intro and outro editing, and from makeup artist Lina Collado, who enhanced the visual style that Katherine carried throughout the show. Wardrobe styling came directly from Katherine herself, a reflection of her eye for fashion as she highlighted brands like Shop Akira, Shein, and emerging local designers. Even the setting spoke to her commitment to authenticity, with Sveta NYC sponsoring the filming location and giving the series a visual identity as striking as its content.
Through it all, Katherine never loses sight of her mission. She is not simply creating a talk series for entertainment. She is building a platform where Latina women and men can share stories that are layered, emotional, and often overlooked. She reminds viewers that Latinas have always been an integral part of Hip-Hop’s history, from artists and choreographers to executives, DJs, and cultural architects. By giving these voices a seat at the table, she is documenting not just careers, but a movement.
Following its YouTube debut, the series will continue its journey on TUBI, opening the door to an even larger audience hungry for authenticity. For Katherine, the move is about reach and impact. It is about taking stories born in the corners of New York City and delivering them to viewers across the globe.
What Tales of A Latina offers is more than conversation—it is cultural preservation. It is the sound of laughter, pain, and triumph woven into narratives that deserve to be archived and celebrated. Katherine K. Nunez has created more than a show; she has created a statement. With every guest she welcomes, she affirms that Latina voices are not an afterthought in Hip-Hop or in society. They are, and always have been, at the center of the culture’s evolution.
And if the first season of Tales of A Latina is any indication, Katherine’s journey as a storyteller is only just beginning.
