Award-winning novelist Shobha Rao joins Saadia Khan to talk about the stories that define and defy us. In this wide-ranging conversation, Shobha reflects on immigrating to the U.S. at age seven, learning English through Little House on the Prairie, and how the quiet of her first snowfall changed her forever.

Her latest book, Indian Country, connects the legacies of British colonialism and American expansion while weaving a tender meditation on marriage, identity, and the longing for home. Shobha shares how failure shaped her writing, why language can both limit and liberate, and what “mutating through love” truly means.

In this powerful solo episode of Immigrantly, host Saadia Khan shares why she is angry and why she is paying close attention to the words we use around immigration. Prompted by a recent ProPublica investigation by journalist Hannah Allam, Saadia explores how government agencies like ICE use terms like “removable,” “alien,” and “target” to strip immigrants of their humanity.

From media narratives to political rhetoric, Saadia breaks down how language builds systems and why the shift in migrant demographics, especially the rise of families and children crossing the border, has triggered a more fear-based response in both policy and media. 

This episode is a reflection, a call-out, and a call-in because changing the language is the first step toward changing the system.

What does “enough” really mean? In this profoundly personal conversation, Saadia Khan sits down with Jaime Roque, musician, storyteller, and host of Recurrent. This Getty podcast uncovers the hidden stories behind monuments, places, and people.

Born to Mexican immigrant parents, Jaime grew up between California’s Central Valley and Los Angeles, surrounded by music, community, and the sounds of his family’s jewelry shop. From farmwork to fatherhood, he reflects on how loss, love, and art shape his identity and why he now embraces what he calls “the art of enough.”

Saadia and Jaime explore how storytelling helps us reclaim what’s sacred, challenge expectations, and honor the people who shaped us. 

This episode is an invitation to slow down, find meaning in the quiet moments, and celebrate the fullness of our identities.

In this thought-provoking episode of Immigrantly, host Saadia Khan sits down with Tiff Soga, Managing Editor at Who What Wear, for a raw conversation on fashion’s future. The interview peels back the glossy surface of the industry to reveal the politics, power dynamics, and cultural narratives woven into what we wear.

Soga, who entered the fashion world through a nontraditional path, talks candidly about imposter syndrome, performative representation, and the tension between editorial integrity and commerce. She explains how fashion is more than trends, it’s identity, agency, and sometimes exclusion.

The discussion covers everything from fast fashion’s hidden costs and the ethics of cultural appropriation to the challenges of making diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) more than a corporate checkbox. With stories from her academic background in literature and her current work leading editorial at a major fashion outlet, Soga redefines fashion as both deeply personal and politically urgent.

Perfect for fashion lovers, cultural critics, and anyone curious about where style meets society, this episode challenges the way we think about clothing, confidence, and community.

In this solo episode of Immigrantly, Saadia Khan reflects on the power of intuition, the challenge of separating her identity from the company she built, and why messy, unpolished stories matter.

Drawing from her Eastern cultural roots, Saadia explores how intuition has long guided her personal life, yet often feels harder to trust in her role as an entrepreneur. She unpacks how fear can masquerade as intuition, what it means to stop equating her self-worth with Immigrantly’s ups and downs, and the tools she’s using to reconnect with her intuitive voice.

If you’ve ever felt torn between who you are and what you do, this candid reflection is for you. Tune in for lessons on listening inward, untangling identity from work, and embracing the imperfect middle of the journey.

In this gripping episode of Immigrantly, Saadia Khan sits down with Mory Fontanez, intuitive coach, author of “Higher Self: Reclaiming the Power of Your Intuition”, and daughter of Iranian immigrants, to dig into the messy, fascinating truth about our inner voice. Their conversation moves from the personal to the cultural to the global: what happens when fear masquerades as intuition, how immigrant stories shape the way we listen to ourselves, why Western culture sidelines instinct while Eastern traditions revere it, and what it means to reclaim your higher self in a world designed to keep us in fear.

 Saadia pushes Mory on whether fear can sometimes be a gateway to clarity, shares her own anxieties as a Muslim immigrant in America, and asks whether intuition might be the key to building compassion in a fractured world. Mory, in turn, reveals why intuition is never wrong, how leaders quietly rely on it to make billion-dollar decisions, and why saying your gut instinct out loud might change everything.

If you’ve ever ignored that little nudge and regretted it, or if you’ve wondered whether your gut is wisdom or just anxiety, this conversation will make you rethink the most underrated power you already have.
