About this Project:
Our podcast talks about the immigrant experience in the US including topics about the American Dream and finding community. We invited two speakers from two different cultures and backgrounds: Isabelle’s mom who came from Puerto Rico as a child and Lena’s grandfather who came as an adult from Taiwan for economic opportunity. We pursued this project because we wanted to create a project that is accessible to everyone and our goal for this podcast is twofold. First, we wanted to educate the audience on the historical experience of immigrants during the Reconstruction era. Second, we wished to offer another perspective on the immigrant experience now in the 21st century.
