In this opening episode, Forouz Salari (she/her) and Miranda Ramnarayan (she/her) reflect on identity, belonging, and their experiences as first- and second-generation immigrants.

Through personal stories, they explore cultural negotiation, inherited expectations, and the influences that have shaped their lives.

They also share why they created Grown Between Worlds: to hold space for thoughtful, honest conversations that honour the complexity of immigrant experiences and amplify voices too often left out of the wider narrative.

Episode recorded in Dec. 2025 - edited & mixed by Miranda Ramnarayan (she/her).

Ever felt caught between cultures or worlds? You're not alone!

This podcast is for anyone navigating the immigrant experience.

Introducing "Grown Between Worlds" - a podcast that dives deep into the stories of adult children of immigrants (people who immigrated as kids / teens, or were born into immigrant families after settlement) and their partners.

We talk about the complexities of identity, belonging, and the often unseen struggles that come with living between worlds.

This isn't just about trauma; it's about resilience, humour, and the beauty of diverse experiences.

Join us as we explore insightful conversations with guests who share their personal connections to immigration and offer wisdom for those on similar journeys.

Launching April 15, 2026!
