    Life Before and After Naturalization

    Join co-hosts Carlos Alberto and Karina Dominguez as they talk with Brianna Vazquez, an immigrant mother from Mexico City who grew up in a time before DACA. Brianna emphasizes that the ideas of navigating family, chasing culture, and growing up undocumented have lasting effects long after one naturalizes. Brianna is proud of all the fearless undocu folks living their dreams in ways she could have never imagined as a kid. Now she is just trying to be a good community member and a mom to her 17 year old child. She has been in her career for 12 years and in her free time enjoys reading, napping, eating, lifting, running, watching unserious tv, and fighting to destroy white supremacy and any expectations that hold us back from being who we truly are.

    Florida Attacks Our Immigrant Community

    Join co-hosts Karina Dominguez and Carlos Yañez for a special episode where they remember SB1070 as Florida passed SB1718. This horrible bill will further criminalize immigrant communities. They are joined by Nery, an immigrant rights advocate and coordinator with the FL student power network, a youth organization serving students across Florida to advocate for education, climate and migrant justice. Nery is a FIU alumni and is heavily involved in immigrant community work with youth. The Florida legislature has failed to protect immigrants and Florida immigrant youth will not stay silent. We hope our immigrant communities across the country see the realities and parallels that immigrants face daily.
