An Immigrant’s Journey: From Basketball Star in Colombia to Street Baller in NYC

SummaryThis week Jay and Gary are joined by an extra special guest: Jay’s father-in-law, Gabriel Torres…and he’s got quite the story to tell. Gabe grew up in Colombia where as a student he was a basketball star. After graduating high school, Gabe had an opportunity to come to the US and another adventure began. Gabe built a life here: met his wife, had a family, and played street ball in NYC in the 70s. Gabe’s story is an immigrant one, and also an American one.Episode Highlights🏀 Street Ball👣 An Immigrant’s Journey➡️ Be Here, Not There🏡 Finding Home👂 Listen FirstConnectVisit our website to find links to our YouTube channel, other social media, show notes, and more!Make a beautiful podcast website with Podpage.Explore professional recording options with Riverside.fm.Liked Jay's t-shirt from this episode?
