Slowly but surely she built a life for herself, and over twenty years in, she has no plans of leaving New York any time soon.\n\nMariana shares how hard it was for her to make friends when she first immigrated, how she stayed in relationships for too long because her family was so far away that her relationships became her family, and how she made the move from retail to corporate America without a college degree. This is a story of overcoming tough situations, learning to stand on your own two feet, and finding happiness on the other side.\n\nWATCH on YouTube!\n\nREACH OUT:\nSend us your questions to: WhereWeLandPod@gmail.com.\n\nFOLLOW:\n*Follow WWL on IG: @wherewelandpod\n*Follow WWL on TikTok: @wherewelandpod\n*Follow Claudia on IG: @claudiavl8\n\nClick here for a list of immigration resources / organizations you can support.\n\nABOUT THE HOSTS:\nLuciana and Claudia Valdiviezo know what it’s like to move to the U.S. – twice. They were born in Peru and lived there for only a few years until their parents moved the family to the U.S. The sisters kept in touch with their roots, speaking Spanish at home and every Christmas when they visited Peru for the holidays. Then, when they were 12 and 11 respectively, the family moved back to Peru. Growing up both Peruvian and American during those formative years gave Luciana and Claudia a deep understanding of what it means to belong, and not belong, at the same time.\n\nThe sisters eventually moved back to the U.S. Luciana is a marketing professional living in Washington D.C. with her husband and two young children. Claudia is a writer living in New York City.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/JGwDBS5zVKzBh2TT_ScJtPmYARRH2POGOenAN3T39GE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9jZjky/NDNhOTk3YzQ1OWQ2/NzEwNTc4YTYxODJm/ZWZhNS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
