Navigating dos Mares is a podcast that has been created to shed light and meaning surrounding the bicultural life experiences – from childhood to adulthood – faced by most children of immigrants. From the universal truths that impact our coming of age to the distinct events that shape our life experiences – including our role in the family as navigator – the bicultural community will find a home, a haven, a respite from their travels.
