Ni de Aquí, Ni de Allá (Not From Here, Nor There)

from Please Don't Tell Me The Truth · host Dalma Daniela

In this episode, I get candid about my identity crisis. Because being an immigrant means living between two worlds. Here, I share what it was like growing up in Barranquilla as “the odd one out,” the vindication I felt when I first arrived in the U.S., and how my long immigration process slowly stripped away that initial certainty. From endless paperwork to proving myself again and again, I realized belonging here always came with conditions. Still, I’ve learned to see ni de aquí ni de allá not as a wound, but as a bridge — one that lets me exist across cultures and languages. Because yes, being in-between can feel lonely… and that’s the truth we don’t always want to hear.If you've lived between two worlds, this episode sees you.Please follow and rate this podcast.
