How to Talk to [Mamí & Papí] about Anything
Society & Culture:Relationships
Fryda grew up in a Cuban-American family, and easily sees how her mother's life in Cuba influenced how she raised her. As a result, sometimes their relationship feels strained. And, Juleyka speaks with an immigration and acculturation scholar who helps us uphold boundaries with parents.
Fryda is the cohost of the Teikirisi podcast.
