Episode 16: The American Dream in Strawberry Fields Hija de tu Madre Podcast
-
- Fiction
On this episode I speak with Mireya Hernandez about her madre's story. As we discuss the topic of immigration, we need to also discuss how it all evolved. Mireya's mother came to the U.S. legally due to her parents having permisos to work in the fields. From a very young age she knew that her plan was to come to the U.S. and work in the fields like her family. The story of farm work is a daunting task that requires hours of hard work under all environmental elements. We hear her madre's story and then her change of career into hospitality.
We discuss the topic of translating and what it means to us. How difficult it can be but how rewarding it truly is. We share stories of helping others, in hope that at some point, someone has done the same for our parents. The power that 1st generation children have is incredible, VALEMOS POR DOS! I hope that as we are speaking about being bilingual we acknowledge how hard it is at times. Despite that also appreciate how it makes us ever more powerful and amazing!
