Listen "Her Story Matters: Emily Francis"
Episode Synopsis
I talked to bibliophile & HS ESL teacher, Emily Francis. She told me about her life growing up poor in Guatemala, being a 15-year-old taking care of her 4 siblings while her mom tries to make a living, her mom’s immigration to America, leaving them to fend for themselves for 2 years, then her and her siblings’ 2-month experience living with “coyotes” (smugglers) so they can immigrate to the US, her struggles with the American school system, and her arduous path of fulfilling her dream to become a teacher. 👇🏽 ALL LINKS BELOW 👇🏽 YouTube: bit.ly/3g0qe2g Apple Podcasts: apple.co/34KNRa2 Spotify: spoti.fi/2S9eQJx Redcircle: bit.ly/3yZWX0m Instagram: bit.ly/2SW06Oc Facebook: bit.ly/3x0QLDP Links to Emily Francis’s accounts: https://linktr.ee/Mrs.FrancisESL Be a friend and please share and subscribe.
