A heads up: This episode contains strong language and unbleeped swearing***
"Stereo-anti-types” is a special series from Homegoings examining some of the most troubling, most profound, and most dangerous stereotypes that apply to Black men. In this first episode, host Myra Flynn and colleague Bryant Denton get up close and personal with podcaster Pendarvis Harshaw and comedian Marlon Fisher to tackle the myth of the deadbeat dad. Both of these men have bucked societal bias and are anything but deadbeat --- but as you'll hear, it wasn't always easy. Homegoings is a Podcast, TV show, and event series where host and musician Myra Flynn brings you candid conversations about race with artists, experts, and regular folks all over the country about their literal skin in the game — of everyday life.

In this episode, I explore women's pressures while juggling multiple roles, all while hearing the constant message that we should be able to “have it all.” But is that even realistic? For women, especially entrepreneurs, and women of color, the challenges are undeniable—limited resources, systemic barriers, and the constant need to prove ourselves.
Joining me is Amina Altai, a holistic leadership coach and the author of the insightful book 'The Ambition Trap'. Amina’s unique blend of business strategy, wellness, and mindfulness helps women align their careers with their values and well-being. We’ll discuss finding balance, redefining success, the toxicity of the term resilience, and the importance of self-care. This is an episode you won’t want to miss.

Today, I’m talking with Myra Flynn—an incredible singer-songwriter, storyteller, and host of Homegoings. Myra’s work resonates deeply with me because she tackles something that’s so relatable: the struggle to define yourself when the world insists on squeezing you into a box. Whether it’s the “model minority” myth or other stereotypes, she’s pushing back against those limiting roles and creating space for stories that go beyond surface-level labels.
We explore her journey as a woman of color in the music industry, the inspiration behind Homegoings, and how she navigates the tension between owning her truth and resisting others’ expectations.
Her perspective made me rethink some of the assumptions we carry—both positive and negative—about identity and success.
This episode is personal, raw, and precisely the conversation I wish I’d heard growing up. If you’ve ever felt unseen or misjudged, Myra’s story will remind you that you’re not alone—and that it’s okay to embrace the contradictions that make you, you. Tune in!

Today’s episode is a heartfelt dive into the meaning of ‘home.’ As immigrants, many of us grapple with the idea that home isn’t just one place—it’s a collection of spaces, memories, and feelings that shape who we are. Our guest today, Robert Hartwell, a celebrated Broadway performer, has taken this concept to new heights—quite literally—as he embarks on restoring a historic home.
For Robert, this is more than just a renovation project. It’s a deeply personal journey of reclaiming space, honoring history, and carving out a future filled with hope and resilience. In this conversation, we delve into the significance of home for someone whose career has been defined by embodying other worlds on stage and how this restoration project reflects his evolving sense of identity.

In this episode of Immigrantly, we explore the world of cinema, representation, and identity with Samuel Jamier, the Executive Director of the New York Asian Film Festival. Samuel's story is a remarkable transformation from his early life as a shy Korean adoptee in Brittany, France, to becoming a trailblazer in the film industry. He opens up about the complicated dynamics with his foster parents, navigating racial tensions in French society, and his evolving understanding of identity as an Asian growing up in a predominantly white environment. Join Samuel and me as we uncover how these experiences shaped his journey from a quiet, introspective child to a bold advocate for Asian representation on screen, breaking barriers for filmmakers of color and using cinema to challenge cultural narratives.

This week, in celebration of Latino Heritage Month, we’re bringing you a special conversation with the brilliant Karla Cornejo Villavicencio, author of The Undocumented Americans, and her fiction debut, Catalina. Our Nationly producer, Sofia Sanchez, leads this thoughtful interview as a guest host, where they delve into Karla's first novel, ‘Catalina.’ Recently nominated for the National Book Award, the debut novel captures “a year in the life of the unforgettable Catalina Ituralde, a wickedly wry and heartbreakingly vulnerable student at an elite college.” Inspired by autobiographical music, second-wave girlhood, and dark humor, the conversation explores how “Catalina” is written with the cute wink, the rehearsed twirl, and the knowing smile of a pop song by artists like Taylor Swift, Nicki Minaj, or Olivia Rodrigo. (Just how far can she take her performance? Who’s watching?) The two also discuss the Ecuadorian-American writer’s personal journey from girlhood to womanhood, from non-fiction to fiction, and from undocumented to first-time voters. Be sure to tune in next week for another brand-new episode of Immigrantly—with the host Saadia Khan!

She and I explore the nuanced relationship between beauty, art, and the human experience, unpacking how cultural constructs shape our perceptions of ourselves and others. It's a transformative conversation that invites you to see the world—and your place in it—in a new light.
