This episode is a conversation with NPR journalist Malaka Gharib and the author behind the book I Was Their American Dream.

We discuss the pursuit of creativity, Malaka's path to journalism, and the unexpected impetus to her book. We also talked about the current political climate, the importance of owning and sharing our stories, and the new opportunity we have to be more visible as Filipinos.
