Welcome Back: Hey everyone, welcome back to "You're So Well Spoken!" In today’s episode, we're diving deep into the highs and lows of growing up in the U.S. as children of immigrants. Expect some laughs, some serious talk, and maybe a few "aha" moments along the way.

Inside This Episode:

• The Meaning Behind the Flag: Ever wondered why the American flag might make some of us uneasy? We’re unpacking what this symbol means across different communities.
• Southbound Adventures: Tag along on our road trips through the South, where the sight of Confederate flags adds a whole other layer to our travels.
• Staying Connected: How do we keep in touch with where we're from? From frequent trips back to Honduras to less often visits to Somalia, we get into what it means to maintain those connections.
• More than Just Food: Let’s talk about why beans mean so much more in Honduran culture—it’s a light-hearted chat with deeper roots than you might think!
• Life in the In-Between: Feeling like you don’t fully fit into one culture or another? We’re right there with you, and we're sharing what this balancing act feels like.

Memorable Lines:

• "For me, the American flag is loaded with more than just patriotism."
• "Ever think about how you can’t hide a body in an apartment? Yeah, me neither. But in the woods..."
• "If you skip the beans, are you even Honduran?"
• "Being called ‘Americanized’ was never a compliment in my house."
