27. We need to keep our minds open when we migrate I Mihiri Warnasuriya

My guest today was born in a country called Sri Lanka, that is south of India in the Indian ocean. She has migrated twice in her life, once to study her master's degree and her PHD, and the other for love. Today she lives in the United States. And she was in the studio to tell us about the whole experience of migrating to very different countries and cultures, for two different reasons. The songs that my guest chose were: Home I Phillip Phillips Budapest I George Ezra You can listen to all these songs on Foranea's LA Playlist ⁠https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3oi0xsdAmCMLYRZFQqsGoc?si=IpIqE9_6Qd-bbV00pCaXvA&pi=u-cZ-_ewK-QECy⁠⁠ The passage that i read was taken from the American writer, Edwidge Danticat’s “Black Bodies in Motion and in Pain”. https://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/black-bodies-in-motion-and-in-pain A Short Clip from “Black Bodies in Motion and in Pain,” from The New Yorker’s New TV Show Director: Blair Foster Based on the article by Edwidge Danticat; Read by Edwidge Danticat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rX8ismwNaxo If you like this episode, you can also listen: 15.
