Glorelys Mora and Sasha Merci, two Dominican-American best friends and comedians from New York, co-host the Morir Soñando Podcast — a bilingual, unfiltered, culture-rich comedy podcast built on authenticity, laughter, and community.
The podcast is an extension of their comedy brand Morir Soñando, originally launched as a comedy show in 2019 to uplift Dominican voices in the comedy world and provide space for stories that mainstream platforms often overlook.
The show digs into the Dominican-American and broader Afro-Latino experience, reflecting on cultural nuances, bicultural identity, family expectations, generational differences, and what it means to belong between backgrounds. Hosts talk about experiences growing up in Dominican households in the U.S., navigating expectations around success, family, dating, and culture.
The podcast blends raw humor with candid conversations — nothing is off limits. Glorelys and Sasha riff on everyday life topics like relationships, toxic traits, cringe boyfriends, adulting challenges (e.g., diligencias, life admin), personal growth, spirituality, and more, all while delivering plenty of laughs. Their humor is deeply caught up in real life and the awkwardness, contradictions, and chaos that come with it.
Beyond punchlines, the show creates a space for healing, connection, and shared experience — especially for listeners who feel seen by the anecdotes and cultural reflections. They speak to the immigrant experience, feeling “not enough” of either culture, and finding pride in identity through humor rather than through assimilation.
This week, Sasha and Glory are welcoming one of their Gramercy favorites back to the Morir Soñando family. Comedian Black Rose joins them for a conversation about being multifaceted, creating your own blueprint, taking up space, and what it really takes to keep going.
In this episode, Sasha opens up about the response to her interview with Yendry and why people are always asking whether she wants to be a comedian, journalist, or something else. The ladies get into refusing to choose one lane, moving with intention, and why celebrities might just be people who never gave up.
They also talk about complaining less and doing more, Dominican families getting lost in the chisme when somebody still needs to cook, and creating safe spaces for the girls coming after us to speak up. Then, naturally, the conversation spirals into J.Lo perfume, Charmed, brujitas, zodiac assumptions, production mode, and why nobody is thinking about you because they’re too busy worrying about their health insurance.
