Everyone has a story

In this issue, Paloma, the editor of PLUMA, introduces herself to the learners and shares the introductions of the immigrants living in the United States whose stories will be shared in installments in subsequent issues of PLUMA.

As you read and listen, be thinking about how you would introduce yourself and the people you know.
