Immigrant Stories | The American Dream in The Eyes of Immigrants

Welcome to episode 11 of The American Dream In The Eyes of Immigrants podcast – I am your host Heidy De La Cruz. In today’s episode, I speak with the owner of Trinket Traces Jewelry, Karen. She was born in the Philippines and shared her experience of living in the Philippines with nannies and having people help around the house but not having any of that here in the United States. We also talked about food in the Philippines, staying connected via Wi-Fi, and her jewelry business. Although she moved when she was five, she remembers the Philippines. Karen also talks about the cultural differences and similarities between the Philippines and the US.

Welcome back to another episode of The American Dream in The Eyes of Immigrants Podcast; I am your host, Heidy De La Cruz. For today’s episode, I spoke with Rosalba Fontanez.

She talks about coming to the US when she was 17 with plans to work packing tomatoes and send money back to her family. This was her way to help raise her younger siblings because her father had passed recently. To her surprise, she met her husband the very next day and didn’t go back to Mexico.

Listen to her story and connect with her if you want to visit Peru. She ends the episode by telling us how she got into taking groups of people on trips to Peru.

He gives his background on how he got into immigration law, he answers immigration questions my followers were interested in knowing and provides insightful information about the immigration process.

A little disclaimer: technology was not on my side the day of the recording, so there are glitches. Nevertheless, the episode is impactful!
