Feed Drop: Pen's Pals: Putting on for Tehran in the Bay by Rightnowish
2024-03-26
As you know, I am always looking for great stories that we can create in-house and share in this space. And when I heard this story, I knew I had to share it with all of you! This episode from the Rightnowish podcast delves into many familiar themes of belonging, assimilation, loss, and finding our whole selves in this society. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Next week, I will be back with Immigrantly’s new episode.
This episode is part of the Rightnowish series Pen’s Pals. Journalist Pendarvis (Pen) Harshaw spent five weeks talking to people he knows from different areas of his life, who’ve all spent formative years in the Bay Area but now live outside the United States. In each episode, Pen talks to a guest about what caused them to move, how their perspective has changed, and what they’d say if they could write a letter to folks back home. This episode strays from that format because this guest was born outside the United States and immigrated here.
