Podcasts by All My Friends Are Immigrants
All My Friends Are Immigrants is a collection of interviews and stories about what it was like to live as an immigrant in a new place or grow up with immigrant parents.
I want to get to know my friends again, purely through the lens of migration to see where our experiences overlap and what it was like to live in a place with a culture and norms that were different from those of their parents.
