Yovany: "The first sentence read in Spanish, when I was 2 or 3, was ' Matan dos en el ZM.'" Translation: Two people murdered in the Metropolitan Zone.
Just your typical day in a Puerto Rican-American household!

In our first full episode, we discuss a little of everything: Puerto Rican history, our parents' stories of arriving as teens in the US, and our childhood. Our goal for the show is to share, hear, and learn from ALL of our stories growing up Latin in the US. Join our conversation! Laugh, cry and dance with us!

"La primera frase que leí en español, cuando tenía 2 o 3 años, fue 'Matan dos en el ZM'".
