Mi Abuelita

Season 1 | Ep. 3 - In honor of National Puerto Rican Day, this special episode of More Than Rice and Beans highlights a Puerto Rican that shaped Tania’s life: her Abuelita. Tania shares a recording of a story she wrote while working with The Moth, a New York-based storytelling organization. In this moving piece, Tania talks about her childhood as a chronic asthmatic who spent time in and out of the hospital before being sent to Puerto Rico to live with her grandmother. While there, Tania not only learned to breathe, but she also learned she was as strong as her Abuelita.
