In this episode, host Sega interviews her grandma, Maribeth, an immigrant from the Philippines.
Maribeth recounts her stories of moving from place to place with her large family due to her father being in the navy. With such a large family, everybody experienced things differently but it affected all of them nonetheless. However she has successfully built her family and career here in the US. She shares her stories and thoughts with a lighthearted and hopeful mindset.
The conversation explores the complexities of the immigrant experience, reflecting on the bravery, struggles, and triumphs of those who leave home and immigrate to start anew.
