Welcome to episode 18 of The American Dream in The Eyes of Immigrants podcast. This episode is another sibling episode, but this time it’s two sisters, Sandra and Noemi. Their parents came from Mexico and talked about their experience growing up as children of immigrant parents.

They talk about having to help their parents out in the fields picking oranges in the summertime and then helping at their mom’s store on the weekends. It wasn’t until recently that they stopped helping their mom – when she closed her business.

We talked about the challenge of translating for our parents – with customers, important documents, or having to return items LOL.

Another challenge they had growing up as immigrant kids was their parents having to miss sporting events, awards ceremonies, etc. because they were always working.

Just an FYI, this episode was recorded outside at a coffee shop which is why you hear outside noise.

Sandra and Noemi own an online boutique called Limitless Wardrobe Co. Check out the clothes and accessories. The clothes are super cute!

Are you a child of immigrants? If so, what could you relate to – send me a message and let me know.
