#18 Crossing the border: the truth about opportunities and privileges

Today's episode is in English and, I confess, I was very excited
to release this podcast. This podcast got me in a way that I
can't explain, and I really hope it will make a lot of people
think about privileges and opportunities. Luis Yanes is my guest
today - he was born in Guatemala and now he is an American
citizen who lives in New York with his wife Sarah. But, his
journey was neither easy nor obvious. Lui and his family crossed
the US border when he was only 6 years old. That was all I knew
about his story when we turned on the microphone. Throughout our
conversation, I was able to learn more about your history, about
the reality of his life before this risky step his father decided
to take and how opportunities are not the same for everyone.
