What does it mean to be a first-generation American? How American am I? How can you connect to your parent’s culture? How can you show up in life as your authentic, multi-faceted self? 
 Welcome to the First-Gen Realness podcast hosted by Anna N’Jie-Konte where we dive deep into the first-generation American experience. Every 2 weeks, you can look forward to a new episode exploring the experiences of first-generation Americans. Those of us navigating multiple cultures, languages, exploring our identities and eating really amazing food. We will profile amazing, trailblazing first-generation Americans who unapologetically own their identity as both Americans and “something else.” 
 The goal is to build bridges, connections, and for each and every one of us first-generation Americans to hold our heads a little bit higher. Thanks so much for joining!
