«El nacimiento de una maestra»,abre la serie de podcast narrativos “Nuestro Norte” de MendoLatino con un viaje inolvidable de resistencia y esperanza. Cuenta la vida de Teresa, una joven que abandona su pueblo natal en México impulsada por sus sueños y su determinación. Luchando contra los estereotipos de lo que se espera de ella como mujer joven, soportando dificultades económicas e innumerables retos, va a vivir con su hermano en Fort Bragg, CA en busca de un futuro mejor. Allí acepta un trabajo exigente en una planta de procesamiento de erizos de mar en el puerto de Noyo.
La historia de Teresa no acaba ahí: gracias a su perseverancia y a su profundo orgullo cultural, obtiene títulos universitarios y cumple su sueño de convertirse en maestra.
