The Villaltas and the Search for Jose Napoleon Senior

 We never imagined that we’d make such a big impact with this podcast. This episode we’ll explore how Elisabeth Villalta and her family had their lives changed forever in a way they never expected. This is a story about the search for family and identity. It’s also a story about the power of community and how it can help overcome the impossible and reunite long lost families. Who are you? Where do you come from? The need to find and define our identity is innate in all of us. We don’t need it to live, to eat, to reproduce. Still, we can’t ignore it. You need to know your story and the stories of all the people it took to make you. This is where Elisabeth Villalta finds herself and this is where this story will take us.
