Leocadio and Julia were two kids in the heart of southern Zacatecas Mexico growing up during the great depression born toward the end of the great Mexican Revolution. Needless to say it was a terribly difficult time for most in that region. Intro to their love story as it pertains to a beautiful legacy that they could never have imagined back then. Join me in their journey as we understand how love really can change the world or at least a family.
Leocadio eventually was able to get approval for his family's green cards and in 1971 they left La Tetilla to venture out into a new world together. For most of them they never looked back. They don't know where this place is anymore as decades have escaped.
Only Leocadio and once in a while Julia returned to this humble but beautiful place in Zacatecas. Home was no longer there for them. Home became Southern California in a fine little home on La Rosa Drive. With the family finally together this became the safe haven for so many travelers as well as the family.

Food. 5 minute short story: so what do you do when you’re craving Mexican food in a predominantly white neighborhood in the 50s and there are no MEX cuisine close by?
The Bracero Program was the largest guest worker experiment in American history with over 4.2 Million mostly men brought in from Mexico to work the fields while the US was at war. This created links and life lines that are present to this day and families affected on both sides of the border. My grandfathers both participated and were braceros. Once the program ended in the 60's all men were given a ticket to go back to Mexico. Both went home but only one of my grandfathers decided to take the chance and migrate to the USA again with hopes of eventually migrating the entire family out here. "Paying it forward - Bilingual Style" talks about Leocadio Larios' story where he started that journey. As children of migrants we have the gift of being bilingual and this allows us to live and morph two different cultures, while embracing these creates greater compassion for the newer arrivals.
An introduction to this podcast. A series of interviews and stories of a beautiful love story, incredible sacrifice, and the commonality of it all in many immigrant families. This is the story of an All-American girl first generation Mexican American child of actual soulmates, child of immigrants. Live interviews from the people who lived it taken from the child who is observed with incredible privilege throughout her life.
