Our final episode of Season 1! Today we meet Pia Tung, the daughter of a Swedish mother and a Chinese father. She came over to sip some glögg with me and tell stories of Swedish summers, visiting China in 1977 (just one year after the Cultural Revolution ended) and the risks of hosting surströmming parties in a New York apartment.
Today we meet Russian-American Natasha Gural, who talks about getting out of your comfort zone, the Real 1%, and the intrinsic value of drunken priests.
Përshëndetje! We're mixing it up for this episode, giving you twice the spice! Today we're bringing you the Albanian-American stories of twins named Mindije and Sindije. Get ready for classroom roll call confusion, situations when broken mirrors are actually lucky, and a chewy eyeball or two.
Time to say "hola" to Gabrielle Mosquera! She dropped by to tell us about the horror of a "day without bread", lessons learned at Macy's Department Store, and Neil Diamond-fueled confusion.
Welcome First Generation Kid Sandy Lee! She's here for our second episode to tell us about dumplings, the importance of not jumping to conclusions, and the enduring educational value of elaborate maps drawn on paper napkins.
The pilot episode of In Their Footsteps. Hyvää päivää! Grab your coat because we're headed to the Arctic Circle to hear about Finnish traditions, stories, and the power of Sisu.
