Warda is a Somali-American writer and in this week's episode, she is sharing with us the reality of her refugee experience in the USA.

Her journey has been challenging, full of barriers and losses, and at the same time, she has risen, healed, and developed resilience. She is a first-generation college student and she wrote a wonderful book where she shares her immigration journey!

March 30, 2022 Cómo Ayudar a Los Refugiados e Inmigrantes Venezolanos? Con Humanitarian Action.
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!

March 16, 2022 From England to Mexico and Emigrating with Dyspraxia
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

March 02, 2022 Lo Que Nadie Cuenta Al Emigrar Con Ina, La Flakefluencer!
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!!

February 17, 2022 A Journey From The Heart of Africa to America with Raphael Tshibangu
What if we don't want to let go??

I had the amazing opportunity to explore Raphael's immigration journey from the Democratic Republic of Congo to the USA 50 years ago! He is an immigrant, a doctor and the author of “Can't Let Go, a Journey From the Heart of Africa to America" a memoir.

Get ready for an episode filled with emotions, anecdotes and tons of learnings!

We talked about the importance of building community, the challenges of learning a new language, about the panic that we can feel when we realize that we are away from our home countries and on the importance of not letting go of our roots even if we are far from home!

Enjoy this conversation and don't forget to share it if you found it helpful!
