In this episode of Harrisonburg 360 titled “Home,” we had the privilege of interviewing David Figueroa, who is a junior at James Madison University. David is generation 1.5 because his parents relocated to the United States from Honduras. This podcast episode will highlight David’s story as he speaks about his successes, struggles, and motivation to finish school. He reflects on his time in K-12, the teachers that impacted him, and how he found his support systems in college. We will also examine the literary work of Journalist Jose Antonio Vargas. In Jose’s essay, “My Life as an Undocumented Immigrant” he shares his experience as an undocumented immigrant. He accounts his personal journey from the Philippines to the United States, as he establishes what it means to be an American from his perspective and his experiences. Jose reflects on his hardships that he had to overcome, such as correct paperwork, hard decision-making, and struggling to find support systems. Our group will discuss the ways family, identity, and support intersect with education.

Lost in Translation

This episode, Lost in Translation, was produced by Emily Killmon, Hannah Knick, Charlotte Lawrence-Hovey, and Alayna Saunders. Our narrator was Jaime Cañas. Lost in Translation covers Jaime’s experience as a generation 1.5 immigrant from El Salvador. Jaime immigrated in 2001 following an earthquake in El Salvador that allowed him and his family to stay using Temporary Protected Status. Jaime describes growing up managing the extra responsibility of being the family translator, being more independent scholastically, and finding people to help him through it all. We explore the themes of responsibility, support, and logistic obstacles as Jaime explains how he navigates life as an immigrant.

Mixed

In this episode of Harrisonburg 360, MIXED, Izabella Pezza recounts her experience having immigrant parents, growing up and living as a mixed-race person, and her understanding of how her family's dynamics have shaped who she is. Izabella, a sophomore English major at JMU, has aspirations to be a Creative Writing professor. In combination with references to Izabella's Oral History interview, conducted by Emily Graff, our group made connections to We Came All The Way From Cuba So You Could Dress Like This? by Achy Obejas in our literary discussion. This episode’s host was Zoe Lublin, the research and content producer was Grace Keeler, and the audio producer was Oliver Cigich. This episode was unique because Izabella was not only the narrator but a member of the class, and acted as team manager for this episode’s group.
