Share With Us: How did you learn where you come from?

Jun 5, 2019

Do you have a story about going to language classes, Saturday schools, religious community groups, clubs, music lessons, or other alternative classrooms where you learned about your culture or heritage? Was it a positive, negative, or mixed experience for you?

We're producing an episode of the podcast exploring the ways that we learn where we come from — for better or for worse. And we want this episode to be based in the experiences of you, our listeners.

So please share your story with us:

1. Record a voice memo on your phone. Please keep it to three minutes or less. It doesn’t have to be perfect!
2. Email your voice memo to [e-mail]. Include your name, location, and age in the email.

We’re looking for a wide variety of stories and memories, including from people of South Asian, Southeast Asian, East Asian, and Pacific Islander descent; mixed-race folx; adoptees; kids; parents; grandparents; and people who speak a language other than English.

Got an idea for a person or community organization we should talk to about this episode? Please share this bonus episode with them, or email us at [e-mail].
