Episode 127: Owning Your Heritage (And Writing A BOOK About It) With Johanna Rojas Vann

<p>Human Hope familia, let me introduce you to my new friend and this show’s VERY FIRST novelist: Johanna Rojas Vann!!! </p><p>When I tell you this woman is a BRILLIANT storyteller, I’m not lying. </p><p>I don’t think I’ve ever identified with a guest as much as I do with Johanna… and she writes about our shared experience as the children of Latino immigrants so thoughtfully. </p><p>Listen when I tell you that Johanna’s novel so BEAUTIFULLY portrays the intricacies and importance of what it means to be, have, and love immigrants in this country. </p><p>And remember, whether you’re a child of an immigrant or not, your family has stories. Maybe you’ll write a book about them, maybe you won’t. But take the time to listen, and you just might be surprised by what you learn. </p><p>____</p><p>Buy Johanna’s brand new novel HERE: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/American-Immigrant-Johanna-Rojas-Vann/dp/0593445554/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=an%20american%20immigrant%20johanna%20rojas%20vann&qid=1687980266&sprefix=an%20american%20immigr%2Caps%2C194&sr=8-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><em>An American Immigrant</em></a><em></em></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/johannarvann" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Follow Johanna on Instagram!</a></p><p>Find Johanna online <a href=" ⁠https://www.johannavann.com/⁠ " target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">HERE</a></p><p>You can find me on Instagram (@loswhit) here: <a href="https://bit.ly/CarlosIGNotes">https://bit.ly/CarlosIGNotes</a></p><p>Purchase your copy of my new book, <em>How to Human</em>, HERE: <a href="https://bit.ly/HowtoHumanNotes">https://bit.ly/HowtoHumanNotes</a></p><p>Let’s keep in touch!
