Special Episode: The 8th Aniversario of the book Lxs Otrxs Dreamers

Las Pochas sit down in company to talk in this special episode about Lxs Otrxs Dreamers, a book through which its pages witness and hold the stories of 25 deportees/ returnees who found themselves exiled on this side of the border (Mexico). For its 8th anniversary we collaborated with Otros Dreams Acción to share space with Baruck & Sheila to reflect on its continued relevance, its power to build community and how its pages continue to be written aquí y allá. Follow ODA on social media and check out the website de Lxs Otrxs Dreamers, a book that became a community.

Episode 6- Mobility between Mexico & the United States

In today’s conversation we are going to dive into MOBILITY. What does movement represent to a community that has historically been in exile. Leni and I both migrated undocumented to the US, therefore we had little to NO connection to Mexico because we were living in what some called a “golden cage”, after we were forced to return to México, ones again we had to let go of our communities and towns, not knowing if we would ever be able to go back. For Maggie it took 8 years to return to the United States, and for me (Leni) 9 years. From this date forward we both had a piece of plastic that overnight meant that we were granted “authorization” to “return” to our families, loved ones and communities. Join us as we both share more about our process and what it means for us to have mobility between the US and Mexico.

Y’all are amazing! Thank you for sharing your story and creating this podcast! Everyone needs to listen to it. 🔥 As an undocumented woman currently living in CA I never connected with the term pocha but I’m loving the way you are owning that term and the new meaning you’re creating for it
