Summary

We’ve really been hit in the face with a lot of sports lately, so we had to talk about it! Sports fandoms are such a fun thing to be a part of and they really connect you to where you’re from or where you’re currently living. As immigrants, following local sports has helped us feel like we belong. So here’s an episode full of sports takes from two really casual and oftentimes bandwagon fans. Go team go! WATCH on YouTube!

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.
