Colombia Girl in a California World: Laura's Story

What happens when a 15-year-old girl trades cafecito mornings in Colombia for cafeteria chaos in California? In this episode, Laura gets real about starting over, new country, new language, new culture, and a teenage crash course in belonging.

From navigating high school as “the new girl” with a thick accent, to chasing the American Dream (Disney Channel edition), to discovering her own resilience in the middle of culture shock, Laura’s story is one of reinvention, grit, and holding onto her roots while building something new.

This isn’t just an immigrant story, it’s a human one. About chasing opportunities, fumbling through the awkward, and finding the beauty in all the in-betweens that shape who we become.

Whether you’ve lived through a big move, started over in a new city, or just wondered what it takes to begin again, you’ll feel seen in this one.
