My guest today is a creator and storyteller documenting the journey of decluttering his immigrant parents’ overcrowded apartment. His videos begin with cleaning and home transformation and often explore deeper themes such as family dynamics, generational trauma, shame, and the complicated emotions many children of immigrants experience growing up. He’s Mexican and a DACA recipient who grew up in Koreatown, Los Angeles. After spending three years in New York City, he recently moved back to Los Angeles following a layoff from my work in refugee resettlement, where he worked primarily with unaccompanied immigrant children.
