This video is a discussion of “How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents” by Julia Alvarez. The video is long, but the video host, Roxanne, shares her personal insights into the immigrant experience and how she related to the book.

Note: There may be some language in this video. I noticed some usage of profanity in another of her videos, but did not hear any in this one.
