Listen to inspiring stories from immigrants who share their journeys, challenges, and triumphs.
We loved interviewing Andrea because she speaks so openly and candidly about how difficult moving to a new country and forging a new community can be. It takes time and effort and patience. She also makes us laugh a lot, and we're sure she'll do the same for you!
We are so happy to be back with a new season of The Shape of a Person! This week, we welcomed Duda to the podcast, and she was the perfect first guest. She's full of adventure and possibility, and we know you'll enjoy hearing her stories just as much as we did!
This week, we had the pleasure of interviewing Joao. He teaches us about the value of a parent’s sacrificial love, which he received from his mother and now embodies for his children. He is thoughtful and devoted, and we know you will enjoy his story as much as we do.
What a joy it was speaking to Andrea! She exudes peace, calm, and positivity. We're certain she will inspire you the same way she did us.
Denisse is delightful. She is full of personality and fun. We loved learning about her background as well as her plans for the future. Enjoy!
This week we speak with Marcos. He reminds us to never give up, whether starting a business or finishing a marathon. He is also a true gentleman.

Melissa Brega and Becky Steffen have made careers out of teaching English to non-native speakers in the suburbs of Houston, Texas – the most diverse city in the country.
Each week, they invite guests to share their immigration stories, bringing humanity and personal perspective to a topic that is often reduced to headlines and statistics.
