I meet the founders of The First Gen Podcast, husband and wife Mariela and David.

Mariela is a 1st Gen from Bolivia and Daniel is a 1st Gen from Mexico.

We talk about the genesis of our podcasts, why it’s important for us to share these stories, what is a 1st gen, our love for the Spanish language and a variety of topics.

Diana, a Latina Children's book author, walks us through her journey of becoming an author, growing up 1st gen, and making a way when she didn't see a way for herself.   

Ashley Arcidiacono, known to her clients as Abogada Ashley, walks us through how she decided to make immigration law her career and her fight for the underdog, our undocumented community in the United States.  Grab a tissue or 2 for some of the stories she will share with us.  Ashley is the real deal and a great amiga to our LatinX and undocumented communities!

Rosa Rodriguez, a 1st gen girl from Queens, learned her work hustle from her mom.  She has overcome adversity on Wall Street breaking stereotypes as a Latina women, raising her daughter as a single mom, surviving domestic violence and later finding her soulmate.  Rosa is the real deal, and you will enjoy her story and appreciate her hustle in life.
