About this episode

This week's upcoming episode we sit down with Milca Aguirre and learn what does it mean to grow up with immigrant parents who want to shield you from the world while also making sure you’re prepared to face it? In this episode, we explore the emotional complexities of growing up in Kansas City, Kansas as a child of immigrants. From learning adult realities too soon as the oldest sibling to balancing two cultures, this conversation dives into the weight, resilience, and identity of first-gen childhood.
