Who We Are Is Made is an audio-anthology of South Florida writers and their roots, a collection of histories that came together through an open call for submissions, through workshops, through mentorships, and sometimes through phoning a friend. We set out to explore how much of us is actually the gift, legacy, the influence of those from other generations. How do they shape the language we use to describe the world around us? We carry histories across continents and cultivate them locally. We ferry recipes across the Americas and we share them with our neighbors, our friends. When we take a closer look at these things we carry, we start to see beyond the thing itself, to see it differently. These stories portray the complex and diverse makeup of Miami and South Florida, honoring the generations that shape who we are.
