Ashlie Nebel has spent most of her life in Del Rio. Her story shows us growing up in a border town isn’t just about geography—it’s about straddling two worlds, two cultures, and two identities. She speaks candidly about the bonds between Del Rio and Acuña, and the harsh realities that have shaken this tight-knit town, including how she learned more than 100 people were seeking shelter in an abandoned building, resorting to splicing a neighbor’s electricity to survive. This episode will shed light on some of the invisible struggles playing out in this community. Listen as Ashlie opens up about what it truly means to be a 'Border Kid' and why this place, with all its complexities, will always be home.
