Dr. Ortega and Dr. Yanira Hernandez explore the themes of healing, identity, and resilience within immigrant families. They discuss the challenges faced by first-generation professionals, particularly in academia, and the feelings of imposter syndrome that often accompany their journeys. The dialogue emphasizes the importance of self-care, setting boundaries, and recognizing the systemic issues that contribute to feelings of inadequacy. Ultimately, they advocate a shift in mindset from viewing oneself as an imposter to recognizing the strength of being an infiltrator in spaces not designed for them.
