125 (English) Navigating Mixed Heritage: A Conversation with Amber Delgado

In this episode of Peruvians of USA, host Nathalie speaks with Amber Delgado, a cultural preservationist based in Chicago with Afro-Peruvian and African American roots. Born and raised in North Carolina, Amber shares how her upbringing shaped her passion for preserving cultural resources and amplifying the stories of historically underrepresented communities.

They dive into what it means to navigate mixed heritage in both the U.S. and Peru, the importance of family history, and how parents can create affirming spaces for biracial children. As a mom of a mixed-race daughter, this conversation was especially meaningful for Nathalie—and a powerful reminder of how identity, culture, and history shape us all.
