Your Hosts

Together

Dr. Renee Lemus

and

Dr. Cristina Rose

as

Las Doctoras

are acclaimed radical influencers, podcasters, writers, and Latina thought leaders. We are Creative Partners in the Las Dras Podcast, Book Club, Sacred Writing Course, and Saint Lunita Magazine.
We are reclaiming our ancestral cultures, creating spaces to heal from the generational trauma of white supremacist, patriarchal capitalism, while living into liberating practices.

Our liberation magic is a mix of Merlin, Water Mercado and Frida. We are academic brujas creating revolutionary spaces outside the walls of the Ivory tower to cast spells, read the ancient texts, and tell our stories. We are the writing witches tucked away in a library deep in the forest, inviting others to reclaim their own magic along side us. We make this magic as an offering to our ancestors, to those who will come after us, and for the change we wish to see in the world.
