The U.S. healthcare system can be daunting to navigate — especially for newcomers. But immigrants who practice traditional forms of healing can be crucial lifelines in their diasporas.
Producer Danny Bloch has the story of one man doing just that — drawing on knowledge from his hometown in Guatemala and adapting it to meet the needs of his community in New York City.
This story is part of City of Possibility, a multimedia series from Fi2W that asks: what do immigrants imagine is possible for themselves and their city’s future?
Government agencies, law enforcement, and retail businesses are increasingly making use of surveillance technologies like license plate readers to monitor and track members of the public. While privacy rights advocates critique the way these institutions can abuse the data they’re collecting, some individuals opt to use these technologies in their own homes.
Producer Ahmed Ashour explores the relationship between immigrants and consumer home surveillance devices like Ring cameras. Do immigrants feel that these technologies keep them safe? And how have attitudes towards these devices changed in recent years?
Today’s story comes from reporter Sophie Sleep with the Los Angeles Reporting Collective.
What does it take to mobilize when ICE arrives? This story follows Proyecto Pastoral, an organization running one of L.A.’s rapid response networks in Boyle Heights, as volunteers learn how to respond to and confront the emotional toll of immigration enforcement. At the heart of it: a community trying to care for families — and for one another.
The largest known colonial burial ground for people of African descent in the United States — both free and enslaved — is in New York City. That burial ground in Lower Manhattan is a national park and monument that commemorates the forgotten and brutal history of slavery in New York City. But it’s far from the only site of this complex past.
Producer Leina Gabra takes us to Flatbush, Brooklyn in New York, where a group of community activists are uncovering the history that laid below a corner of their neighborhood.
While we work on more upcoming stories from Feet in 2 Worlds, we want to share some great episodes from other podcasts we think you’ll like.
This episode comes from Subtitle, a podcast about languages and the people who speak them.
In this episode, Subtitle tells the inspiring, heartbreaking story of Radio Haiti. For several decades, the station broadcast not just in French, spoken by Haiti’s elite, but also in Kreyòl, spoken by rich and poor alike. The Kreyòl-language programs communicated directly with the rural poor—popularizing issues of inequity and corruption.
