PODCAST SPOTLIGHT:

Listening to this podcast almost brought tears to my eyes. It’s such a beautiful series on individuality, community, and immigration. I profoundly connect to the narrator and creator of the show— our lives have so many parallels it’s kind crazy! Creator and podcaster Lory Martinez tells the story of her parents’ immigration from Colombia to the US, growing up Latina in Queens, and the power of building community through a celebration of culture. Seasons 2 and 3 explore other immigrant stories from Asian and Muslim communities. Pro tip: if you want to practice your language skills, listen to this pod in Spanish— just not at faster speed.
