Description

Speaking in First Draft is dedicated to elevating a range of creative voices and experiences, especially those whose stories are suppressed. In light of nationwide xenophobic attacks targeting immigrants, we’re handing our GWN community members the mic. Get ready to hear captivating stories from Singapore, Bangladesh, and beyond. These community voices are invaluable and must be protected; we are honored to share their stories with you.

The episode features the following guests and their original pieces:

* Faiza Chowdhury: “A Bloodline’s End”

* Christine Obiamalu: Reflections on Coming to America

* Nathan: What the Heck Am I Doing Here?

* Sally Familia: “The Ritual Down the Block“
