Hello and welcome to Salvis Unidos Podcast!
Let’s go back in time real quick. It’s the mid to late 90s. Not everyone owns a computer. The world wide web is not yet widely accessible. Smart phones? Forget about it. Your best chance of learning about where you came from is the stories your parents tell you.
Maybe you’ve never been to El Salvador or tasted the food. You’ve never smelled the tropical air or heard the señoras in the local mercado. Maybe you have and you miss the mango verde y minutas.
But you don’t live in El Salvador. You don’t quite fit in to the culture here, you’re not quite accepted by your primos over there. Ni de aqui ni de alla. You’re a child, teenager, or young adult trying to stay connected to where you came from and hoping to be accepted at the same time.
Those years left a lot of Salvadorans feeling disconnected from their own culture. It was isolating . . . but we were not alone.
I’m your host Carlos, a Salvadoran-American born in El Salvador and living in New York.
Join me on this journey to discover what the Salvadoran experience looks like outside El Salvador and what it means to be Salvadoran in a globalized world.
Walk with me as we work to unite salvadorans of all backgrounds, locations, and languages through stories from our shared experience and heritage.
Tune in and we’ll discover how our diversity will shape the future of our culture.
We’re not alone. Salvadoreños. Salvis Undios. Into the future.
