Modern Immigrant

09/28/22 • 56 min

Our guest of the week put together her family's cooking recipes and created the most beautiful and meaningful cookbook EVER to support her family and their immigration.

Andrea shares her immigration journey from Mexico to the USA when she was a kid. She talks about the challenges connecting with her heritage when trying to assimilate into the American culture. We discussed how her divorce impacted her immigration process and how was she able to find a solution after fearing deportation.

We talked about the Mamacita’s Cookbook and how it came to life. With the desire to raise money to support her family and the possibility for her mom to be reunited with her grandmother after 16 years apart!!

Listening to this beautiful story makes you cry, laugh, and feel hopeful all at once.

Enjoy and thank you once more time for being here.

A World Without Borders with Nance Musinguzi

Modern Immigrant

08/03/22 • 46 min

Have you ever wondered what a borderless world could look like? Well, we were able to imagine that world in this week's episode thanks to our guest of the week!

In this week's interview, Nance talks about their experience being a first-generation Ugandan/Liberian, trans/non-binary American immigrant living in the USA.

We talked about their work as an artist, where to get their book (The Letter Formally Known as Q Voices from Minnesota's Queer Immigrant Community), and the challenges of being first gen, black, queer, and trans in today's world.

I love that Nance reminded us of the importance of community, of finding our people, our home (away from home), and how belonging is in fact possible.

Enjoy this journey

Cómo Ayudar a Los Refugiados e Inmigrantes Venezolanos? Con Humanitarian Action.

Modern Immigrant

03/30/22 • 56 min

Episodio Especial - Ayuda a refugiados e inmigrantes Venezolanos!

No hay forma de que este episodio no me conmueva y no me haga sentir dolor y a la vez orgullo por el país de donde vengo. Es una mezcla de sentimientos que sé que muchos de ustedes comparten!

Tuve el honor de conocer un poco más sobre una fundación que admiro y respeto muchísimo. Humanitarian Action es una non profit que se dedica a ayudar a Venezolanos dentro y fuera del país.

En el episodio hablé con una de sus co fundadoras, Marisela y con una de sus voluntarias Ana Gabriela. Las dos nos ayudan a entender cómo su propio camino de inmigración las ha motivado a ayudar a otros inmigrantes.

Conversamos sobre los retos que los inmigrantes y refugiados enfrentan en las fronteras, formas en las que todos podemos colaborar, la importancia de la hermandad entre todos los latinoamericanos para apoyarnos y sobre un viaje que estarán haciendo en Abril para ayudar a los inmigrantes en la frontera con Arizona!

Modern Immigrant

Emigrating with Dyspraxia!

A journey from England to Mexico, a story that inspired me and taught me a lot about how much emigrating has to do with love.

My guest of the week, Sean, traveled to Mexico from England to be reunited with his girlfriend (My good friend Diana, her episode is on season 2!) after she had to leave England very abruptly.

He shares what being an immigrant in Mexico has been for him, how emigrating with a learning disorder such as Dyspraxia looks like and what he has learned about immigration.

Check out this episode, you are going to love it! Link in bio

Thank you for joining us for another week!

Lo Que Nadie Cuenta Al Emigrar Con Ina, La Flakefluencer!

Modern Immigrant

03/02/22 • 49 min

Qué es lo que has callado al emigrar?

No saben lo que es este episodio! Super especial por muchas razones. Conozco a Andreina desde que íbamos al colegio chiquitas y recientemente volvimos a conectar por nuestras inmigraciones y por el podcast!

Además amé que Andreina quizo venir al podcast a que habláramos de todo eso que no contamos cuando emigramos, de lo que nos da un poco de pena decir y de lo no tan lindo de emigrar, con la honestidad que la caracteriza en lo que hace en su cuenta de La Fakefluencer!

Por ejemplo cuando emigramos y nos regresamos porque no funcionó, lo que pasa cuando nos cerramos y no queremos integrarnos a nueva cultura, qué pasa cuando nos visitan nuestros familiares y hemos cambiado y más!!
