    Silver Lake resident Norma Medina talks about her picturesque childhood in Mexico, and the culture shock she experienced when she was taken to live with her aunt and uncle in their 'Brady Bunch' house in California.

    This profile of Norma Medina was produced by Anayansi Diaz-Cortes and Jenny Radelet. Sound design by Mario Diaz. Sonic Trace is part of Localore and the Association of Independents in Radio (AIR). It's funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. The project is co-produced by Zeega, a nonprofit inventing new forms of interactive storytelling.
