Episode 13: Demerits for Speaking Spanish

Vianka Heary is a real estate powerhouse now thriving in England as part of her husband’s service in the United States Air Force. Vianka grew up in Mexico but crossed the international bridge daily to attend an American elementary school. But when high school rolled around, she made the remarkable decision to live apart from her parents in a different country—find out why. Her experiences offer a fascinating glimpse into the duality of growing up on the border. And let's not forget the time her grandfather offered her very American future husband tequila in the morning - an example of the cultural differences she navigated with grace and humor.
