Experiences of Translating for Family Members as a Kid

Last week on Forum, during a segment about the disproportionately
high coronavirus infection rates among Latinos in California, we
heard from 10-year- old Maggie. She called on behalf of her
Spanish-speaking parents to ask whether her parents could get
COVID-19 more than once. It was a moment that resonated with
Adriana Morga, a digital producer for KQED en Español, who tweeted
after the show "that was the epitome of what immigrant children
have to do in order to get information to their parents." The tweet
soon went viral, with people sharing their own experiences
translating for family members. Morga featured some of those
responses in a recent article and asked for others to submit their
stories. We'll hear some of them and talk to Morga about the
importance of equal access to information.
