Movements in California, Episode 2 - Uncle Frankie

Welcome to Movements in California, a podcast series created by the California Center for Ethics and Policy--or “CCEP”--at Cal Poly Pomona. This podcast will explore how migration and mobility are embedded in many of our public discourses, practices, and politics.

In this episode of the series, CCEP student fellow Stefanie Padilla interviews her godfather and cherished family member, Uncle Frankie, about the impact of immigration policies on his life and their family. In exploring his journey from Nicaragua to the United States, they unravel the intricate connections between personal and familial narratives and the broader political landscape. Uncle Frankie’s story and its connections to Stefanie’s own story demonstrates the lasting, multigenerational impact of immigration journeys.
