Recently I interviewed Egberto Willies about his new book Tribulations of an Afro-Latino Caribbean Man.  Egberto hosts the Politics Done Right broadcast and webcast. The broadcast is Monday-Friday from 6AM to 7 AM on 90.1 KPFT-FM. The webcast is each Monday through Friday at 3 Central time.   

Alexander Montavlao of Tarrant for Change also helped conduct the interview.

Egberto discussed his overlapping identities, being a Black man in the software industry, living in the conservative Kingwood neighborhood of Houston & thoughts on activism and about remaining hopeful even in tough times.   

Here is the link to buy the book.

    I'm Neil Aquino.

    I'm a rank & file Houstonian. I’ve volunteered extensively for Democratic candidates and causes, and served as staff for multiple campaigns. My work for Democratic campaigns has involved communications and strategy. 

    I’m an organizer of the Weekly John Cornyn Houston Office Protest. The Cornyn Protest team has been outside Senator Cornyn’s office each Tuesday for eight years now with one clear message: In addition to voting, we must show up physically and non-conventionally for the fights over democracy. Events have proven this assertion correct. 
    ​
    I'm on the Egberto Willies Politics Done Right Show every Thursday from 6 AM to 7 AM for the Houston Democracy Project segment. You can hear the show on the radio, stream it on KPFT or watch later on Egberto's YouTube channel.​
