Join us for Episode 3 of La Prensa Texas' "Let’s Talk About It,

where host Yvette Tello and

cohost Jaclyn Tacoronte engage with lifelong West Side residents Bernie Cantú and Louis

Escareno. This episode tackles the urgent safety issues at the corner of Zarzamora & West

Martin in District 5, a designated Severe Pedestrian Injury Area.

With narrow sidewalks, heavy traffic, and daily foot traffic from local students, the risks are real

and documented. VIA Metropolitan Transit supports a proactive solution that could transform

this dangerous intersection through a bulb-out design. For over a century, La Prensa Texas has

been a voice for the community, and now, through this podcast, we’re turning pressing issues

into actionable dialogues. This isn't just a conversation; it's a call to action for pedestrian safety

and equitable infrastructure. Listen to learn, engage, and be part of the change because the

corner of Zarzamora & Martin isn’t just a location — it’s a crucial test of our commitment to

safety and community accountability.

On this powerful episode of Let’s Talk About It, host Yvette Tello is joined by community voice and comedian Cleto Rodriguez for an inspiring conversation with the Honorable Judge Rosie Speedlin Gonzalez of County Court at Law No. 13. Known nationally for launching Reflejo Court — an innovative specialty court focused on rehabilitation, accountability, and second chances for first-time offenders — Judge Rosie shares the heart behind the movement, the impact it’s having in San Antonio, and why smart justice strengthens communities. From her personal upbringing and the stories behind Mangera Memories to the national recognition of Reflejo Court in major publications, this episode dives into justice, redemption, and the power of reflection. It’s honest. It’s educational. And yes — it’s filled with laughter and real talk. Powered by JMT Media Co. and La Prensa Texas, this is a conversation about leadership, legacy, and building a future where second chances truly change lives.
