We’ve all held ourselves back because we didn’t want to look “cringe.” But what if cringe culture isn’t about us at all — what if it’s society’s way of controlling expression and keeping us small?
In this pilot episode, I share my own stories of being called “cringe” and how those moments shaped me as an artist, creator, and immigrant who built a life against the odds. From Colombian X Factor to Los Angeles, this is a raw reminder that every breakthrough looked cringe to someone at the beginning. And that’s the truth we don’t always want to hear.
If you’ve ever felt embarrassed before you even hit post, this one’s for you.
