2 weeks ago
Join the Braga sisters, Lesley & Stacy, as they dive into the world of first-generation immigrant experiences. Growing up between two cultures brought its own set of challenges, joys, and unforgettable stories—and we’re here to spill all the tea. From being the official family translator to figuring out what a FASFA form even is… we explore what it means to grow up as the bridge between generations and cultures. Featuring sisterly conversations and guest stories from fellow first-gens, this podcast is a celebration of resilience, identity, and community. Whether you’re a first-gen yourself or simply curious about the experiences of navigating two worlds, this is your place to feel seen, heard, and inspired—and maybe even laugh a bit.

We’re Baaaack: Summer Catch up & Season 2 Kickoff

We’re baaaack! In this mid-summer catch-up (recorded July 31) the Braga sisters get real about rest, community, and doing the work without burning out. We talk about summer memories, why we run the show in seasons, and how the nonstop immigration news cycle has felt heavy — especially for first-gens living it. We also share what’s in store for Season 2, unveil our new merch, and invite you to join our email newsletter so you never miss an episode.

Resources & Terms Mentioned

  • Unlearning Shame: How We Can Reject Self-Blame Culture and Reclaim Our Power by Devon Price
  • The Target Takeback (n.) When a brand loudly embraces diversity and inclusion, then backpedals the moment there’s political (or financial) pressure. Then roll it all back out again when it’s profitable. Think: big public campaigns for Black History Month or Pride, followed by sudden cuts to DEI initiatives.

The Target Takeback led to large scale boycotts, decreased foot traffic, and ultimately, a 19% drop in sales.
