In episode eleven* of We Are All Americans, Monique Mansour shares stories with Michele Jaquis about her experiences living in California and traveling abroad as an American of Iraqi-Chaldean heritage.

We Are All Americans is a podcast series Inspired by the fact that my Russian great-grandfather gained his US citizenship after serving in the US Army and my Lithuanian (or Austrian, or Russian, or Latvian - depending on who is telling the story) great-grandmother entered the US on fake passport. Each episode is a different recorded conversations about how family stories are passed down from generation to generation and what it means to be American in the contexts of multiculturalism, immigration, military service, black lives matter, white privilege, and indigeneity.

*Recorded August 28, 2018 at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, CA.
