Reyna Grande y las cicatrices del camino: Una mirada íntima a “Corazón migrante”
Entrevista exclusiva con la galardonada autora Reyna Grande sobre su nuevo libro “Corazón migrante: Ensayos sobre lo que no puedo olvidar” (también publicado como “Migrant Heart”) — publicado en 2026. Lorena Mora-Mowry entrevista a Reyna Grande para su podcast “Latina Today.” Para Reyna, escribir ha sido un salvavidas y al desnudar su alma en “Corazón migrante”, le ha dado propósito y ha sido crucial para construir resiliencia, así como para el proceso de escribir sobre la exposición al dolor, tanto personal como sistémico, vinculado a la experiencia inmigrante, sanar las heridas emocionales, recuperar la alegría y seguir adelante en un arduo y continuo proceso.

El impacto emocional de los inmigrantes que regresan a su país de origen
En su podcast "Latina Today", Lorena Mora-Mowry conversa con Rosa Reyes-Santana, MSW, LISW-S, terapeuta bilingüe clínica, pastoral y comunitaria del suroeste de Ohio, sobre cómo el retorno de inmigrantes a sus países es complejo y emocionalmente intenso, con sentimientos de frustración, vergüenza, ansiedad, tristeza por la pérdida y cómo se percibe el volver como una ruptura o un fracaso del proyecto de vida. El regreso provoca duelo migratorio, crisis de identidad, ansiedad, depresión y estrés crónico, a menudo percibido como una ruptura del proyecto de vida. Rosa explica como los inmigrantes enfrentan la percepción de fracaso por no cumplir metas económicas, estigmatización y dificultades de reintegración. El choque de la “realidad invertida” es un desafío psicológico clave: el migrante idealiza su país de origen, pero al volver lo encuentra cambiado, causando desorientación y frustración. Retornos forzados o por dificultades económicas generan culpa, vergüenza, pérdida de autoestima y estatus, y a menudo, pérdida de autonomía y poder adquisitivo. Rosa describe las etapas del impacto emocional: euforia inicial por el reencuentro con la familia y el entorno, choque cultural a la inversa por costumbres, burocracia o precariedad, y aislamiento social al sentirse extranjera en su propia tierra. Finalmente, comparte estrategias para quienes regresan y para quienes los reciben.

Gustavo Martín Benites Gálvez’s New Film, Breathe, Shines a Spotlight on Immigrant Artists
Lorena Mora-Mowry, podcast host of the Latina Today podcast series, interviews Gustavo Martín Benites Gálvez, an award-winning Peruvian-American writer, director, and producer based in Chicago, who has been working in the film industry for over a decade. In this podcast, Gustavo, who was born in Lima, Peru, and then moved to Cleveland, Ohio, in the early 90s, talks with Lorena Mora-Mowry about his childhood and how he learned to write, act, do camera work, and edit all by himself when resources were limited. Gustavo is based in Chicago, Illinois. He talks about his work as a cinematographer, as well as filmmaking, directing, writing, and producing, and his experience participating in festivals with your offbeat documentary, Fupa, and American Warrior. Gustavo discusses his short film, Breathe, which he directed with producers Maja Memišević and Tasmin Hindeyeh, both accomplished filmmakers. He’s currently fundraising to complete Breathe; the film has the backing of Film Independent’s Fiscal Sponsorship program, allowing tax-deductible contributions. Breathe’s script was a Top 8 finalist in Scriptapalooza and a quarter-finalist at Final Draft’s Big Break. It’s a story based on Gustavo’s own experiences living and working in Chicago, facing the pressure of choosing between financial stability and pursuing his dreams. It’s the story of immigrant artists in our community, who sometimes must sacrifice their dreams to survive. Resilience is key to pushing on despite limitations. Gustavo encourages young Latinos pursuing filmmaking to pursue their passion.
