From New York to Paris with Lory Martinez Ep. 57

Welcome to episode 57 of The American Dream in The Eyes of Immigrants Podcast. I am your host, Heidy De La Cruz, and I am on a mission to change the narrative of immigration one immigrant story at a time!

Today’s guest is Lory Martinez, the founder of Ochenta Studios, a podcast production studio. Lory grew up in New York to Colombian immigrant parents. She wanted to be an international journalist, and that dream led her to create her podcast production company.

She hosts the Mija Podcast, which started as a fictional audio novela narrated by a young girl who shares her family’s stories. She also interviews other mijas or daughters, and I had the opportunity to be a guest on her show.

Listen in as Lory shares about growing up in a multicultural New York neighborhood and experiencing cultural shocks as a minority in the US when she was in college, going to Colombia in the summer, and how she started her podcast production company.

With Love, Heidy
