Migrating is one of the most important decisions a person can make. It implies abandoning the previous sowing, and perhaps the first harvest, to embrace a new land, full of possibilities. Whoever emigrates starts from zero and sharpens his learning process and personal growth. This process, so loaded with desires, modifies the human experience, enriches it, transforms it.In this video we will listen to the testimony of six Hispanic American immigrants who are reborn every day in the United States. How have their lives changed since they set foot in the Northlands? How has the United States changed their vision of the world and their desires? What have they gained in this process? What have they lost? Are their personalities the same or different? What do they keep from their cultural heritage? What new customs have they added to their repertoire? What would their ancestors think about this transformation? Join us on this intimate and personal journey of human transformation, where the metamorphosis of the immigrant unfolds.

Some citizens are convinced that immigrants represent a threat to the economy as they displace the citizen workforce. Others think that immigrants who cross the border come seeking government assistance without paying their taxes. All these ill-founded myths have made the headlines of certain political pamphlets in recent years. The truth is that many of the immigrants who come from Latin America and the world are highly trained people either in professions or trades, and they strengthen the country's economy. The United States is a multicultural and multiethnic region due to the immigration of workers. In this video, we will meet six Hispanic workers who emigrated from their country for different reasons and have decided to develop their careers in the United States. You will discover what they do and what they think about their professions. They will also compare their academic experience in their home countries with the experience in the U.S.A. Stay with us and find out what Hispanic migrant workers have to say and contribute.

Gisela Ramos es una artista queer puertorriqueña. En la búsqueda del lugar que le permitiera desarrollar su personalidad, vivió varios años en EE.UU.. Cuando regresó a Puerto Rico creó el personaje de Macha Colón. Con su alter ego busca visibilizar a la comunidad queer en su país. Gisela Ramos es Macha Colón. Dos personalidades. ¿En una persona? “A nivel artístico estoy tratando cada vez más y más que sea una sola persona”. La polifacética artista y directora de cine (El hijo de Ruby, Cartas de amor para una ícona) y videoclips, confiesa que Macha la va transformando y viceversa. En especial, porque la fortalece, en particular en su rol performático: “Creo que me permite sentirme a mí solamente. Hay un momento en que estoy consciente de que estoy frente a un público, entonces eso me hace vulnerable. Y es esa vulnerabilidad que a mí me gusta”. Reflexiones casi psicoanalíticas. Así es Macha Colón. Pero también es esa artista que junto a los Okapi canta a la diversidad más amplia en Jayá, su tema más conocido, en el que proyecta su propósito: visibilizar a la comunidad queer. “En Puerto Rico estaba viviendo en el margen, como si tuvieran que estar avergonzados o esconderse”. Macha Colón habla además de la situación en su país y de sus expectativas para el futuro. Here I share the final project of my course Spanish in the community. In this class, we explore the historical, political and economic reasons that have contextualized Spanish American immigration in the United States from the 19th century to the present. The final project is achieved thanks to the collaboration of Mrs. Deborah Hendrix and the "Samuel Proctor Oral History Program". Please, share! Thank you!

When we travel, we learn how to see the world from other perspectives. We learn, for example, to savor new flavors, to hear new rhythms, to experience delight in new colors. We also discover interesting new faces and decipher incredible customs. Traveling is, in short, about growing. At the end of each trip, we return home with a suitcase full of new hopes and knowledge.
But... What happens when we do not return home? What happens when that trip goes on, perhaps, for a lifetime? Why do people abandon everything and start from zero in an unknown place? Why does one leave one´s country to start another life far away? What is the process of ongoing learning like for the immigrants? In this video, we explore the lives of five Hispanic American immigrants in the state of Florida, United States. We look at the push factors that forced them to emigrate and how they have managed to adapt to the new political and economic system of our country. Join us on this personal and human journey, and discover with them what it feels like to buy that unforgettable one-way ticket.
