Namah Vyakarnam | India - Immigrant Tales #2
Update: 2021-01-25
Description
Namah Vyakranam was born in Hyderabad, India. Her family traveled back and forth from India to the U.S. before eventually settling around Chicago, IL. After that, Namah found herself grappling with internalized racism surrounding her South Asian identity, which was often misrepresented in American society.
It all boiled over when she began to see the racism against South Asians in a post-9/11 America more clearly. Listen to the second edition of Immigrant Tales to hear Namah's story firsthand.
