A Common Thread
Quite often, immigrants to the United States live in isolated, tight-knit communities; but they still find a common thread of struggle with all immigrant groups. Lorena’s guests share their experiences, and challenges, in creating a new life in America while trying to both preserve their natural heritage and reconcile conflicting traditions with their families abroad. She shares her own experience of immigrating to the United States from Mexico after her family received imminent threats of violence, and how, fearing that she may not get to see them grow up, she used her passion for art to try and cultivate her personal/familial story within her home to communicate this invaluable knowledge to her young children.
Everything that has happened in Lorena’s life has laid the foundation for the life she lives now and the life she hopes to build in the future, just as the rugged road you are traveling at this moment is laying the foundation for all the possibilities of you. Every one of us has our own journey, and we are all continually on our way. On My Way, a podcast hosted by Lorena Junco, may be the telling of Lorena’s extraordinary story but it actually is a mirror of your’s. Whether you feel like an outsider, a victim, abnormal, blessed, or just plain normal - On My Way is all about helping you connect your dots. So tune into Season One where we will be sharing in stories of some of Lorena’s dearest friends and talking family, art, injury, forgiveness, and more!
