Guerrero: How this young Latinx comic turned harsh, harried Latina moms into comedy gold (via latimesopinion )
Jonathan Chavez poses for a photo with his mother Ana Molina in an undated photo.
Chavez started going to therapy last summer, and he’s applying lessons he’s learned with his mother. When she’s agitated, he gently points it out to her and makes empowering statements to her. “I give therapy to my mom,” he told me, laughing. boasting of being raised by “La Chancla,” a flip-flop sometimes thrown by Latina mothers at misbehaving children., told me she sees Chavez as one of the few social media comedians provoking thoughtful conversation about problematic mothering in Latinx households. “He’s naming that this isn’t normal and that this is traumatic,” she said.
My friend Armida López, an actress and filmmaker from El Salvador, told me Chavez’s videos help her see her mom “in a brighter light.” Her mom often made her kneel on raw rice for hours as punishment when she was a child. “I always thought my mom was the only bad one,” she said. Then she found Chavez’s. “I’m like, ‘Oh my God, I’m not the only one.’ I feel a little better. It’s almost like, we’re all in it together.
