On this episode of Tamarindo, we are joined by Alejandra Campoverdi, the author of the new memoir, First-Gen. Alejandra Campoverdi's life reads like a series of impressive accolades, but she asks us to look underneath the accolades she describes as the often unacknowledged tolls of being a trailblazer. Some of these trailblazer tolls include “Invisible Inheritances,” “Bicultural Balancing Act,” and “Breakaway Guilt. 

In our conversation, she expands on these tolls and reminds us that while she doesn't have all the answers, we can’t heal and learn from what we cannot name and just as important, that we are not alone.
