DENISE HUNTER


I am Denise Hunter, wife, sister, daughter and mother of three. I am the host of a new podcast called “MANDE” and an entertainment executive.

What is MANDE?

MANDE is used as a polite request amongst Spanish speakers. It roughly translates as "Tell me'", but a better translation would be "Pardon'", "What did you say?'". It is considered quite polite and within my culture (Ecuadorian) a traditional form of respect when communicating with elders.

Format: Personal storytelling from my POV as a first-generation Ecuadorian-American woman.
