Show Notes

I had an incredible conversation with Vanessa Graves of Hija De Tu Madre Podcast as we discussed being raised by Latina immigrant women, raising Latina strong daughters, and of course her podcast. Additionally, Vanessa shared with us about her biracial relationship with her husband and how that also shapes how she is raising her daughter, in particular with Latin American aspects such as language and culture. Naturally, we also spoke about what it means to be a Latina mother and how we are raising our daughters in a different way than we were also raised while acknowledging the strong influences that our mothers have upon our journeys within motherhood. 

Vanessa Graves of Hija De Tu Madre Podcast

Vanessa Graves is the proud daughter of a Salvadoran immigrant madre. Her podcast, Hija De Tu Madre, will try to open America’s eyes to the product of immigration. We have been quietly idling through America for far too long without representation. As hijas de nuestras madres we are now finding our voice so our madres sacrifices don’t die in vain. We speak about our upbringing, our fight to fit in, and the struggle of our current feelings. As we share our mother’s legacies, we discover the intricate and intimate ways that we are all connected.
