Week 44: Mezcal, Migration & Memory: A Latina’s Berlin Journey
In this warm and reflective episode, Mika - a Venezuelan entrepreneur and now the Brand Ambassador for Mezcal Cómplice in Germany shares her story of migration, reinvention, and finding ritual in a new home. From escaping instability in Venezuela to falling in love with Mexico’s rich mezcal traditions, her journey is one of resilience, identity, and cultural connection.
She opens up about the emotional and spiritual depth of mezcal, how it’s lovingly handcrafted over generations, and why it should never be "shot," but savored. We also talk about living through Berlin’s long winters, finding seasonal joy, and why Día de los Muertos is less about mourning and more about celebrating love that endures.
