Adela and Mariam come together in this special episode of Americanish to discuss the aftermath of Hamas's October 7th attack, highlighting Mariam's voice as a Coptic Christian and Adela's experience as a Jew on campus. When GenZ celebrates Osama Bin Laden and sympathizes with Nazis, it becomes clear this fight is not about Israel, it is about fundemental societal values. 

Come along as South Asian artist and teacher, Manasi Arya shares her life story, the inspiration behind her art, and her favorite cultural superstitions.

Adela and Manasi talk favorite foods… what she calls, “Indian Nachos”… and so much more in this final episode of Hyphenated, Season One! Listen and share with a friend.
