From Other to Center
by Aysha Jamali
In this podcast, we explore the role of ancestral identity in finding belonging and embodying our full selves. I’m your host Aysha Jamali, a South Asian media artist and storyteller. Who am I? Where do I come from? What makes me feel like I belong? These are questions I think about a lot. I’m also really curious about how others connect to their ancestral identities and move from a place of being othered to being centered. In this podcast, I’ll be talking with people who are doing just that and hearing about all of the different ways they get there.
