**About Me**

Hey there! I’m America Castillo, your host of Las Chismosas del Valle, a bilingual podcast where I try to dive deep into everything from pop culture to current events. Growing up in a Mexican household, I’ve always loved storytelling whether it was listening to my mom and tias chismiar, watching movies, or listening the news and radio in both Spanish and English. I love connecting with people from all walks of life. Whether we’re chatting in English or Spanish, I’m all about trying to create engaging, thought-provoking conversations that bring new perspectives and bridge cultures. From fun celebrity gossip to real-world issues, I mix it up with interviews featuring everyday changemakers who are doing incredible things in their communities. Las Chismosas del Valle is your space to learn, laugh, and reflect—whether you're a native Spanish speaker, learning the language, or just curious about the world!
