Spanish in the Community: The Blending of Who We Are (La mezcla de quienes somos)

Immigration occurs for a variety of different reasons: to escape a difficult situation, having family or friends in another country, for work, or simply in search of a dream. Whatever the reason, that person has to start over and build a different life in unknown lands. In this process, cultures and customs are combined and converge in a new style of living, and new communities are built. Join us as we tell the stories of the impact of communities and cultures on our narrators, in order to discover what constitutes the blending of who we are.
