This podcast episode will be in Spanish. My parents will be speaking on their experiences growing up as young parents and raising four kids. From losing their son to Leukemia to supporting their daughters in life’s unforeseen obstacles, these are the people that shape me to be the person that I am today. I wouldn’t be where I am if it wasn’t for them. I love you mama y papa. Gracias por ser Lis padres.
