We here at the Lo Down had such an amazing time with this interview. A huge thank you to the Dueñas Car Club for being on the show and for being a moving-force of change, beauty, and strength within the community!
DueÑas Lowriders of SJ
Think back to your first cruising experience. Where were you? How old were you? Who were you with? These moments and memories, for many of us here in San Jose, seemed crucial to our upbringing- teaching us about our culture, our community, and ourselves.
Whether you’re cruising down Story and King, Santa Clara Street, or Monterey, we hope that you enjoy this fun and empowering episode about the Dueñas Women’s Car Club.
Celebrating all of the badass ladies of San Jose this month and EVERY day!
In this episode…
We sit down with three of the ladies from Dueñas Car Club and speak on what it means to be a Dueña (owner) of a lowrider- including cars, culture, and community. Throughout this episode, Mia, Angel, and Kooks highlight the importance of female representation in lowriding, being part of and giving back to their communities, the ongoing criminalization of the lowrider community, and cultivating and empowering the next generation of Dueñas through the Lowrider Bike Club.
