It’s finally here! The first part of our collection of stories of Salvadorans Around the World. In the final episodes of Season 4, we hear stories from Salvadorans from all walks of life. In part one, we’ll hear Jennifer , Mardoqueo, Johanna, Kenya, and Klara share their stories. We’ll hear about the migration trail from El Salvador to the US, the meaning of the American Dream, and ponder deep questions about Salvadoran identity.
In Season 3 of Salvis Unidos, we traveled all over the world to bring you stories from Salvadorans in the furthest reaches of the globe. This season, we gathered more stories from Salvadorans from all walks of life. We’ll hear stories, in English and Spanish, from Salvadorans working on big projects to those just trying to feel at home in strange places, from Salvadorans journeying to remote areas of the world to Salvis moving to Iowa, and more.
In this podcast, we strive to amplify voices that aim to make an impact in society and our community. However, we believe that every individual, regardless of their role or background, possesses a unique and valuable story. In a small community like ours, the smallest story can have the biggest impact, creating connections, understanding, and a collective strength that transcends individual experiences.
I don’t know about you, but I’m ready to connect and transcend with our cousins in this episode. Let’s jump in. Grab a comfortable spot on the maca, get some ice cold horchata or hot atol de elote, and let’s give witness to these brave Salvadorans sharing their thoughts and stories.
