Episode 49: The journey of a granadilla - how a podcast is connecting Peruvian diaspora women

The Migration & Diaspora Podcast

Hello, and welcome to another episode of the Migration & Diaspora Podcast, where we discuss topics, projects, ideas, and everything else related to migration and diaspora engagement.

Today, we’ve got a podcast about, well, podcasting. We’ve got Ana Lucía Gutiérrez González on the show to share her wonderful story connecting with fellow Peruvian diaspora women through the Granadilla Podcast that she hosts.

About Ana

Ana interviews Peruvian women around the world and shares their stories as a form of inspiration and motivation for future female migrants while creating a space to empower them. She is currently pursuing a PhD in migration, focusing on Peruvian migrant women while running operations for a startup in Israel. She is married and has a dog. Ana loves travelling, good food and long naps. BTW, these introductions I include at the beginning of each episode are the bios that guests share with me and I love that having a dog and enjoying naps feature in Ana’s.

What we talk about

• Ana’s experience being a Peruvian diaspora woman.

• Building a podcast in the midst of a pandemic to connect with other Peruanas por el mundo.

• How Ana ended up turning that podcast into an organisation that not only tells diaspora stories but that also now connects, supports, trains and empowers Peruvian women.

I really enjoyed having Ana on the show and I thoroughly recommend checking out the Granadilla Podcast, whether you’re a Peruvian or Latina migrant or if you’re simply interested in hearing some wonderful stories of identity and human connection. And listen out for the curious story behind the name of Ana’s podcast.

Last but not least, thank you so much for tuning in and without further ado, please sit back and enjoy the show.
