Growing Up Immigrant

Today's episode shares the personal stories of people growing up as first-generation Americans and Canadians. The people we interview discuss navigating their parents' traditions with their own personal politics and learning to value where they come from—despite all the cultural forces that erase immigrant stories. This episode features linguist and psychologist Julie Sedivy, poet Fatimah Ashgar, filmmaker Anne Galisky, journalist Belinda Cai, and emerging writer TK Matunda.
