Episode 12: Our Mother's from the Countryside

The sister's from Call Your Sister Podcast, Astrid and Alex,  join me in today's episode. I had the pleasure of hearing the story of their Mami from the campo of the Dominican Republic.

Their mother's strength that endured immigration, domestic abuse, and parenting as a single mom is incredible. We discuss our internal feelings about being a child to immigrant parents. Sometimes our feelings towards our mother's has not always been a good one. While we understand the struggle today we weren't always so understanding of their sacrifices. As children to immigrant parents we often battle with enjoying childhood and our daily responsibilities. Yet again despite those struggles we are stronger for them. We may not know if we had potential for so many other things, but the lessons we learned are empowering us.

I truly loved sharing our commonalities. As hijas de madres that came from the campo to the strong independent women that they are today.
