Fareeha Mahmood takes us on a globe-trotting journey beginning with her upbringing in Dhaka, Bangladesh, attending international schools in Indonesia and UAE, and finally moving to NYC.

She talks about how her experiences in these vastly different countries affected her knowledge of Bengali and proximity to Bengali culture, how the history of Bangladesh influenced her passion for the language, and the concept of language as a form of self-identification.
