From La Burbuja: Susana
A mother's challenge to teach American culture to her daughters.
By Brian De Los Santos • • 2m ListenWhen Susana Zamorano came to the US, everything was new to her. The streets, the people and especially the culture. "It's hard to explain Easter with the bunny and eggs — we know bunnies don't lay eggs!" she says.
She brought her two daughters, Neidi and Victoria, when they were young. And as a mom, she wanted her daughters to learn US customs — like egg hunting, Christmas songs and celebrating July 4. At the same time, Susana wanted to introduce them to Mexican traditions.
