Description

When COVID hit the United States, and DACA decisions were in limbo, the Immigrantly team sought to learn how the two events were being felt by undocumented immigrant communities - in particular, undocumented Asian Pacific Islanders. With guidance from API organizations like RAISE and notable research platforms, we found ourselves absorbed and humbled by this group's unique socio-political existence. Today's episode is as much a conversation on the complicated portrayal of undocumented Asian Americans as it is a microphone for some of these unheard voices. Host Saadia Khan   Producer Saadia Khan, Sarah Doh   Written by Yudi Liu   Edited by Tom Whelan   Music by Evan Ray Suzuki

Welcome to Immigrantly: a boundary-pushing, border-crossing podcast that gives diverse voices and stories, a home. Drawing on her own experiences as a rights activist and a first-generation Asian immigrant, creator & host, Saadia Khan tackles the big questions on race, identity & the immigrant experience while challenging mainstream narratives in today’s divided America. Covering everything from love and dating to food and faith, each weekly episode explores a theme with inspiring guests such as Grammy-winning singer Arooj Aftab; bestselling author of 'The Kite Runner,' Khaled Hosseini; and comedians Hari Kondabolu and Aparna Nancherla. It’s a true celebration of what makes us unique – and a timely reminder of all that unites us.
