Here on the show, we ask a lot of our guests. We ask for their time, and a good amount of it, as most of these 40-minute Homegoings episodes are actually shaped after two-hour interviews! We unapologetically ask for their hearts. The things that make them beat, and the things that make them break. On a recent episode of the podcast Immigrantly (a show we consider a soul-sister in the world of race and identity), host Saadia Khan puts our own Myra Flynn in the hot-seat as an interviewee. This episode is personal, raw and If you’ve ever felt unseen or misjudged, this story will remind you that you’re not alone—and that it’s okay to embrace the contradictions that make you, you.

Homegoings is a production of Vermont Public. Follow the show here.

This episode was produced and written by Saadia Khan with editorial review and sound design by Shen Yu. Haziq Ahmed Fareed edited the episode. Music for Immigrantly is created by Simon Hutchinson, the Homegoings theme is by me, Myra Flynn and all other music is from Epidemic Sound. As always, you are welcome here.
