A heads up: This episode contains strong language and unbleeped swearing***
"Stereo-anti-types” is a special series from Homegoings examining some of the most troubling, most profound, and most dangerous stereotypes that apply to Black men. In this first episode, host Myra Flynn and colleague Bryant Denton get up close and personal with podcaster Pendarvis Harshaw and comedian Marlon Fisher to tackle the myth of the deadbeat dad. Both of these men have bucked societal bias and are anything but deadbeat --- but as you'll hear, it wasn't always easy. Homegoings is a Podcast, TV show, and event series where host and musician Myra Flynn brings you candid conversations about race with artists, experts, and regular folks all over the country about their literal skin in the game — of everyday life.

In this episode, I explore women's pressures while juggling multiple roles, all while hearing the constant message that we should be able to “have it all.” But is that even realistic? For women, especially entrepreneurs, and women of color, the challenges are undeniable—limited resources, systemic barriers, and the constant need to prove ourselves.
Joining me is Amina Altai, a holistic leadership coach and the author of the insightful book 'The Ambition Trap'. Amina’s unique blend of business strategy, wellness, and mindfulness helps women align their careers with their values and well-being. We’ll discuss finding balance, redefining success, the toxicity of the term resilience, and the importance of self-care. This is an episode you won’t want to miss.

Today, I’m talking with Myra Flynn—an incredible singer-songwriter, storyteller, and host of Homegoings. Myra’s work resonates deeply with me because she tackles something that’s so relatable: the struggle to define yourself when the world insists on squeezing you into a box. Whether it’s the “model minority” myth or other stereotypes, she’s pushing back against those limiting roles and creating space for stories that go beyond surface-level labels.
We explore her journey as a woman of color in the music industry, the inspiration behind Homegoings, and how she navigates the tension between owning her truth and resisting others’ expectations.
Her perspective made me rethink some of the assumptions we carry—both positive and negative—about identity and success.
This episode is personal, raw, and precisely the conversation I wish I’d heard growing up. If you’ve ever felt unseen or misjudged, Myra’s story will remind you that you’re not alone—and that it’s okay to embrace the contradictions that make you, you. Tune in!

Today’s episode is a heartfelt dive into the meaning of ‘home.’ As immigrants, many of us grapple with the idea that home isn’t just one place—it’s a collection of spaces, memories, and feelings that shape who we are. Our guest today, Robert Hartwell, a celebrated Broadway performer, has taken this concept to new heights—quite literally—as he embarks on restoring a historic home.
For Robert, this is more than just a renovation project. It’s a deeply personal journey of reclaiming space, honoring history, and carving out a future filled with hope and resilience. In this conversation, we delve into the significance of home for someone whose career has been defined by embodying other worlds on stage and how this restoration project reflects his evolving sense of identity.

In this episode of Immigrantly, we explore the world of cinema, representation, and identity with Samuel Jamier, the Executive Director of the New York Asian Film Festival. Samuel's story is a remarkable transformation from his early life as a shy Korean adoptee in Brittany, France, to becoming a trailblazer in the film industry. He opens up about the complicated dynamics with his foster parents, navigating racial tensions in French society, and his evolving understanding of identity as an Asian growing up in a predominantly white environment. Join Samuel and me as we uncover how these experiences shaped his journey from a quiet, introspective child to a bold advocate for Asian representation on screen, breaking barriers for filmmakers of color and using cinema to challenge cultural narratives.

This week, in celebration of Latino Heritage Month, we’re bringing you a special conversation with the brilliant Karla Cornejo Villavicencio, author of The Undocumented Americans, and her fiction debut, Catalina. Our Nationly producer, Sofia Sanchez, leads this thoughtful interview as a guest host, where they delve into Karla's first novel, ‘Catalina.’ Recently nominated for the National Book Award, the debut novel captures “a year in the life of the unforgettable Catalina Ituralde, a wickedly wry and heartbreakingly vulnerable student at an elite college.” Inspired by autobiographical music, second-wave girlhood, and dark humor, the conversation explores how “Catalina” is written with the cute wink, the rehearsed twirl, and the knowing smile of a pop song by artists like Taylor Swift, Nicki Minaj, or Olivia Rodrigo. (Just how far can she take her performance? Who’s watching?) The two also discuss the Ecuadorian-American writer’s personal journey from girlhood to womanhood, from non-fiction to fiction, and from undocumented to first-time voters. Be sure to tune in next week for another brand-new episode of Immigrantly—with the host Saadia Khan!

In this thought-provoking episode, I speak with Dr. Anne Anlin Cheng, a renowned scholar and author whose work pushes the boundaries of understanding race, aesthetics, and cultural history. Known for her groundbreaking books, The Melancholy of Race, Second Skin, and her recent publication, Ordinary Disasters, Dr. Cheng challenges conventional narratives around the model minority myth and how it intertwines with race, gender, and identity. She and I explore the nuanced relationship between beauty, art, and the human experience, unpacking how cultural constructs shape our perceptions of ourselves and others. It's a transformative conversation that invites you to see the world—and your place in it—in a new light.

This summer, I’m sharing original Immigrantly content and highlighting creators who have inspired me. Recently, I shared an episode of The Happiness Lab with Dr. Laurie Santos, and today, I’m excited to bring you another gem—an episode of the Nuances podcast.
If you’re a regular Immigrantly listener, you might recall my interview with Sherry Lyn Lee, also known as Lazou, the host of Nuances. The episode was titled "From Tech to Tunes." Her podcast, Nuances, is an award-nominated audio space where guests from various Asian ethnic groups, careers, countries, and communities delve into the complexities of our cultural relationships and how they shape our identities.
Today's episode features Lazou's conversation with Soo Jin Lee, who, despite never being explicitly told she was undocumented, always had an inherent sense of it. The licensed therapist and author also discusses how healing trauma doesn’t have to adhere strictly to Western methods of health and wellness.
I hope you enjoy this episode and come back for more Immigrantly content next week.

As the 2024 Presidential Elections approach, reductive narratives around immigrant identities are on the rise. Despite over 70 million first and second-generation immigrants in America, they continue to face vilification. Politicians echo alarming calls for mass deportations, but few capture the humanity of the immigrant experience.
In this episode, my guests and I explore these issues and the often-overlooked stories of those who return to their homeland. Joining me are Antonia Cerejido and Lorena Rios, the brilliant minds behind the podcast Imperfect Paradise, Return to Mexico. They share the powerful journey of Daniel Zamora, an undocumented immigrant sent back to Mexico, revealing a story of grit, vulnerability, and strength.
Antonia, an award-winning producer and journalist from NPR's Latino USA, and Lorena, a distinguished journalist featured in The New York Times and The Guardian, delve into themes of identity, belonging, and the impact of immigration policies. Join us for an enlightening conversation about what it truly means to call a place home.

Constant worry and stress are bad for our bodies and our minds, but how can we break the cycle and relax? It turns out scientists have learned a lot from one of America's most stressed-out communities - caregivers.
In this episode of The Happiness Lab, hosted by Dr. Laurie Santos, Hollywood star Steve Guttenberg talks about the toughest chapter of his life—caring for his dying dad—and Dr. Elissa Epel explains why some caregivers suffer badly from stress, while others seem to find ways to live with the awful situation they find themselves in daily.

In this episode, I have the pleasure of speaking with Mila Atmos, the fabulous host of Future Hindsight. Mila is renowned for her deep understanding of civic engagement and democratic participation. She has spent years amplifying the voices of changemakers and thought leaders who shape our society.
But who is Mila Atmos beyond the microphone? This conversation delves into the lesser-known aspects of her life and career. Did you know Mila was born in Indonesia and raised in Germany before moving to the U.S.? Like me, she embarked on her podcasting journey during the 2016 elections. Mila and I explore how her multicultural background influences her perspective on civic life and democracy. We talk about her diverse career: before stepping into the podcasting world, Mila had a stint on Wall Street and a significant role at Sesame Street, where she was instrumental in launching the show's Indonesian version.

Today on Immigrantly, I'm excited to welcome the incredible Dr. Amra Sabic-El-Rayess. Amra is an Associate Professor at Columbia University, focusing on essential topics like social cohesion, the radicalization process, and how communities can hurt each other. But beyond her academic work, Amra has an incredible personal story—she survived the Bosnian war and Genocide in the 1990s. She wrote a powerful book about her experience called "The Cat I Never Named: A True Story of Love, War, and Survival." Her recent book is Three Summers, which launched in April 2024. The book is based on her real life and is geared towards young readers.
For those who may not know, the Bosnian Genocide happened between 1992 and 1995 and involved horrific ethnic cleansing and mass killings, especially against Bosniak Muslims. The worst of it was the Srebrenica Massacre in July 1995, where over 8,000 Bosniak men and boys were killed.

Today's guest is Emily Kwong, a dedicated journalist and storyteller renowned for her outstanding work at NPR. Emily's reporting spans a broad spectrum, from climate change and science to compelling human interest stories that shed light on the rich tapestry of immigrant communities. Her keen insights and propensity to capture the essence of human experiences have garnered widespread acclaim in journalism.
I've been deeply engaged with Emily's latest podcast, 'Inheriting,' which delves into Asian American and Pacific-Islander families. Through her exploration of how historical events reverberate across generations, Emily creates a narrative that feels intimate and profound, akin to sharing a moment with her in a cozy living room. Each episode, including the one on Pakistan, resonates deeply, showcasing Emily's passion for unraveling the complexities of identity, culture, and belonging.

As we approach the 4th of July, we’re diving into the multifaceted concept of freedom. For many immigrants and diverse groups, true liberation remains elusive, overshadowed by systemic inequalities and societal barriers.

Join my team members, Adiba Hussain, Sara Baig, Sereen Qader, and I, as we represent diverse backgrounds and experiences and share our reflections on freedom (or lack thereof), identity, and the ongoing journey toward true equality.

Frequent listeners of Immigrantly know that I often delve into the differences between individualistic and collectivist societies. This contrast becomes particularly striking when considering how people in individualistic cultures often face grief and struggles in isolation. Immigrants can deeply resonate with the emotional toll this solitude brings and the vital role of community and support.
Today's guest has brilliantly explored these struggles through her Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Cost of Living, which poignantly captures the complexities of human connection and the profound effects of isolation.
Joining me today is Martyna Majok, the 2018 Pulitzer Prize winner for Cost of Living. A distinguished graduate of the Yale School of Drama and the Juilliard School, Martyna has also studied at the University of Chicago and has received numerous accolades from the Kennedy Center, the American Theatre Critic Association, and many others.
