Summary
Originally from Sweden, Hanna Bergström moved to LA to do a semester abroad in college and never left. After falling in love with the entertainment industry, she hustled to get her work visa and is now Marketing Manager at Redrock Entertainment. In our conversation Hanna shares how LA ended up being a more seamless cultural fit than Sweden, the cultural gaps she’s experienced at work as well as when dating, and her favorite Swedish word that has no translation so she uses it even when speaking English.

ABOUT THE HOSTS: Luciana and Claudia Valdiviezo know what it’s like to move to the U.S. – twice. They were born in Peru and lived there for only a few years until their parents moved the family to the U.S. The sisters kept in touch with their roots, speaking Spanish at home and every Christmas when they visited Peru for the holidays. Then, when they were 12 and 11 respectively, the family moved back to Peru. Growing up both Peruvian and American during those formative years gave Luciana and Claudia a deep understanding of what it means to belong, and not belong, at the same time. The sisters eventually moved back to the U.S. Luciana is a marketing professional living in Washington D.C. with her husband and two young children. Claudia is a writer living in New York City.
