UPROOT Podcast | agiraudy

In this podcast I engage in a conversation with people who have left their home countries and came to live in the US. I talk to women and men who feel uprooted and whose lives unfold between cultures. In this first series of episodes, all my guests are from the Spanish speaking world. We talk about the challenges and opportunities that each of these women and men have faced in their journey to becoming multicultural citizens in the American workspace and in their communities, and we reflect on how those experiences have shaped their understanding of the US and their respective countries.
