Modern Immigrant

Modern Immigrant is a podcast hosted by Vero, originally from Caracas, Venezuela. Growing up, she was fascinated with her father’s journey as he shared his stories about his immigration. Vero’s experience with immigration continues today as she explores life in the USA.  Modern Immigrant creates a space for open discussion and communication about our unique immigration stories.
