Our guest for Episode 16 is Martha Galardy. She emigrated from Cuba to the US when she was 19 years-old and is now a current citizen of the United States of America. Martha shares with us her experience as a child living under a socialist regime, and discusses why Americans need to remain vigilant in protecting their rights and freedoms. Her message is for people to listen and hear the stories of immigrants, so that history does not repeat itself in America.
