Description
In 2019, a DOD report stated that sexual assault reports in the military are on the rise, every year, it's higher than the last. That could be due the number of reports just rising because more people are coming forward, but it is a fact that sexual assault happens at high numbers in the Military. A different report from 2010 stated that 120 female military service members stationed in Iraq died there. 60 of those 120 deaths were reported to be non-combat related. Of those half, non-combat deaths, 30 were ruled suicides, but there was evidence to suggest many of them may have actually been murders. Many families reported that the army had given them conflicting information, failed to give any information or asked families to remain silent about their daughters death.
On today's episode, Cristina tells guest co-host Carmen about the death of LaVena Lynn Johnson, Kamisha Block, Amanda Gonzalez, Vanessa Guillen and the recent death of Ana Basaldua Ruiz in Fort Hood.

The Legend of the Cuetlaxochitl: The legend of the Cuetlaxochitl, now more commonly called the Poinsettia or the Christmas flower, has a long history in Mexico. Before the Spanish, it had different medicinal uses and one 16th century legend would forever associate it with Christmas. We (Cristina and MJ) also share Christmas traditions we grew up with, different Christmas traditions around Latin America, we talk about El Dia de los Reyes Magos, some St Nicholas history and we end the episode with an Espooky Christmas story (around minute 34:00 if you want to skip all the Christmas stuff and go straight to the espooky stuff). We hope you enjoy- Cristina and MJ.
