Overcoming Bullying and Embracing Authenticity with Juan Acosta

On this episode of Café con Pam, Pam welcomes special guest Juan Acosta—mental health advocate, LGBTQIA+ activist, and proud Mexican immigrant—to share his powerful story. From moving to the U.S. at age two and growing up caught between two cultures, to facing tough bullying and the ups and downs of coming out, Juan opens up about it all. The conversation gets real about the challenges of being an immigrant kid, how mental health is (or isn’t) talked about in Latino families, and what it means to find your place and your voice. Juan talks about turning pain into purpose, creating community, and what keeps him grounded while doing big work as an advocate. Grab your cafecito and join us!
