Home to Me: The Ornela Family by ncjustice published on 2014-02-28T16:39:33Z The series “Home to Me: Immigrant Stories from NC” highlights the lives of North Carolina immigrants and their families. The multimedia series aims to put a face on North Carolina’s immigrant communities by sharing the stories of individuals and families across the state from a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences. This month’s audio piece features the Ornela family (names have been changed), who sat down in Raleigh's Pullen Park to talk about their experiences. Self-described as the "Three Musketeers," the Ornelas have seen each other through thick and thin, relying on each other through a relocation from New Jersey to North Carolina—Dani and Nora's father stayed in New Jersey for work—and even the occasional car trouble.
