Diana Velez- When Puerto Rico Met Pakistan
This week we get to hear from the person who brought us into the Audioboom family. And surprisingly they are not South Asian. Diana Velez is a New York born Puerto Rican, or "Nuyorican", who was searching for diverse content stumbled upon our podcast and thought it was great. But aside from the life-changing insight offered on our episodes, there was a more personal appeal. Diana's son is part South Asian as her partner is a Pakistani Christian; which makes her son "Pakirican." Listen in as we dive into the Bollywood proposal that snagged her, the issues that arose as they raised a child, and the cultural differences that ultimately helped end their relationship. Thanks to Diana's generous honesty, we are able to explore some of the challenges and joys of inter-cultural relationships! Listen in and then send us your thoughts!
