Scrooge McDuck and career restarts l Just Us
Manage episode 496942179 series 3611364
This week we talk about how immigrating often means starting your career all over again or at least having to endure a setback (unless you happened to immigrate for a promotion, of course). Navigating the practical and emotional aspects of what you hope is a short term risk for a long term reward is challenging. We share our experiences and the conversations we’ve had with countless friends who have had to face the same difficulty.
We also chat about NYC footwear, Scrooge McDuck, carseats and Adults on Hulu.

ABOUT THE HOSTS:
Luciana and Claudia Valdiviezo know what it’s like to move to the U.S. – twice. They were born in Peru and lived there for only a few years until their parents moved the family to the U.S. The sisters kept in touch with their roots, speaking Spanish at home and every Christmas when they visited Peru for the holidays. Then, when they were 12 and 11 respectively, the family moved back to Peru. Growing up both Peruvian and American during those formative years gave Luciana and Claudia a deep understanding of what it means to belong, and not belong, at the same time.
The sisters eventually moved back to the U.S. Luciana is a marketing professional living in Washington D.C. with her husband and two young children. Claudia is a writer living in New York City.
