“Art, Motherhood, and Self-Deportation: Yazmin Garcia’s Immigration Story” (Nov 03, 2025)
In this episode, I share my story, from being a little girl at the age of two to becoming an artist and founder of Sagrario Arte Studio. I talk about leaving the U.S. at 17 to fix my residency, the loneliness and depression that followed, and how art, therapy, and community helped me heal.
We dive into identity, motherhood, imposter syndrome, and the decision to create a life rooted in purpose rather than perfection. For me, the American Dream isn’t about success on paper; it’s about finding peace, embracing creativity, and feeling a sense of belonging while honoring my roots.
