There is a phrase in Spanish that says: Ni de aqui, ni de alla, which translates to Neither from here nor there. That phrase means something to those of us who are struggling with belonging to one home country or the other. It means a lot to those of us whose roots come from one place and flowers have grown in another. This podcast is series of life stories that reflect on the book In the Country we Love by Diane Guerrero and it highlights historical and current immigration policies that impact the lives of immigrants in the United States.
