Whitney and Samantha Dobladillo, the duo behind Peruvian Sisters, launched their storytelling platform in 2020 to connect with others navigating the complexities of being Peruvian American. Growing up in mostly white schools on Long Island, they often felt out of place, especially when classmates stared at their home-packed lunches like caldo de gallina. In this episode, the sisters reflect on those early experiences of othering, the online and in-person community they’ve built around the message “I am Peruvian enough,” and how their bond as siblings, and their mom’s encouragement, has fueled their work. : https://epicenter-nyc.com/being-peruvian-enough-with-your-sisters/ Follow on Instagram at @peruviansisters and on TikTok at @peruviansisters_ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
