Ep 57: Solidarity over Assimilation
Tuesday, 8 July, 2025
In this episode, Dali Rivera and I continue our conversation about immigration in the United States. During our spicy and revelatory conversation we discuss how immigrants have to leave who they are behind, how to keep their culture and bring in new rituals and practices, and how immigrants often (if not always) feel othered when moving in different spaces. Dali and I dig into how immigrants have to navigate unspoken cultural norms, releasing unrealistic expectations of immigrants, and how to create a movement away from assimilation towards solidarity.It's a biggie!
