"From the Age of 11 I Knew I Belonged in the US" with Annie P. Woods (DR)

Welcome to episode 47 of The American Dream in The Eyes of Immigrants Podcast. I am your host, Heidy De La Cruz, and I am on a mission to change the narrative of immigration one immigrant story at a time! Today’s guest is Annie Woods - a coach for immigrants and a public speaker. She also hosts the Substack newsletter, “Homecoming,” where she shares life as an immigrant, a mother, and a human.  Annie shares that her love for books and reading began at the age of eleven. It opened a whole new world for her and the possibility of moving to the US. She says that she never felt like she belonged in the Dominican Republic.  Listen to her story of coming to the US, which Annie says was a journey of healing.  With Love, Heidy Connect with Annie: ⁠Instagram⁠: www.instagram.com/anniepwoods  Website: www.anniepwoods.com  Here are a few ways you can support this podcast. 1.
