"Felidoro Cueva, who grew up in a rural village in the Andes mountains of Peru, and immigrated to the U.S. in 1964, during the height of the Civil Rights Movement and the Vietnam War. He went on to become one of the first Latino engineers in Silicon Valley. His daughter - and Close All Tabs producer Maya Cueva - takes us through Feli's journey: from counterculture experimentation to the discrimination he faced in a startup world where Latino representation was nearly nonexistent."
"We make another stop on our road trip series, Hidden Gems, which takes you to out-of-the-way spots across the state that aren't your typical tourist destinations. Today we dig into our archives and visit Volcano, in Amador County, and head 100 feet underground into the Black Chasm Cavern with KQED's Bianca Taylor."
Felidoro Cueva grew up in a rural Andes village in Peru and immigrated to the United States in 1964 amid the Civil Rights Movement and the Vietnam War. He became one of Silicon Valley's first Latino engineers, transitioning from counterculture experimentation into the nascent tech industry. He encountered discrimination within a startup world that offered almost no Latino representation. His daughter, Maya Cueva, traces his personal and professional trajectory. The content also highlights Volcano in Amador County and a 100-foot descent into Black Chasm Cavern with Bianca Taylor as an off-the-beaten-path California destination.
