Members of diaspora are living in a world that is more codependent, interconnected, and globalized that every before.

After a long and grueling boat ride across the Atlantic Ocean from the off shore island of the Azores in the Southwest Europe nation of Portugal, my parents and I arrived in New Bedford, Massachusetts in New England.
