Their lives—separately shaped by the same oppressive regime in Nicaragua—are united by a shared belief in the importance of using the power of their voices to write, to teach, and to protest. Both Maria and Juan paid a steep price for refusing to remain silent. Yet both found in Notre Dame a safe refuge and a community of support where they could speak out in the name of freedom, justice, and human dignity. In this episode of For Good , Maria and Juan share their powerful stories of forced exile, unimaginable courage, unwavering faith, and relentless hope.
