Mercedes grew up between two worlds: the United States and Spain. Born in Boston to a Spanish mother from Galicia and an American father, she was raised speaking both English and Spanish at home, surrounded by two cultures, two ways of life, and two identities. In this episode, she shares how her parents helped her and her siblings speak Spanish naturally with a native accent, what it was like growing up feeling both American and Spanish, and how moving to Madrid changed her perspective on life, language, and belonging.
