Belen Amaya the host of What Dichos joins me on my 10th episode!!! One thing we have in common is we like to chat!
We share the life of being half Mexican and half Central American. Her madre's immigration story is one that I was not familiar with. It allowed me to understand that even I am still learning things through all of these stories. Through speaking about her madre's immigration story we highlight the most painful part of leaving your family. The concept that some immigrants never get to see their loved ones again. It is a topic that is very prominent in an immigrant's life. Most often brings much pain and sorrow to relive the last time you saw their face.
We circle back to the idea of privilege. Belen mentioned it in her podcast and it is a topic we have discussed in mine briefly. It is a topic that as 1st generation we need to dive into more. Discuss what privileges we have to understand what we can do better.
I invite everyone to follow Belen on Instagram at WhatDichos. Visit her website and listen to her wonderful podcast on Spotify and Apple Podcast!!!
