## Resource

Ep. 128 - What’s the difference between Hispanic and Latino—and do those terms really mean the same thing? In this episode of The Latino Business Report, we sit down with Dr. Maria Del Carmon Unda to explore the origins and evolving meanings of Hispanic, Latino, and Chicano. This conversation goes beyond labels to uncover how identity is shaped—and why how someone chooses to identify is personal and worth respecting. Tune in and discover the deeper story behind the words we use every day. Recommended Reading: Pew Research Center. (2013). Preferences for the terms “Hispanic” and “Latino” [Data Set].
