"What are you?" That's a very tricky question journalist and cartoonist Malaka Gharib is super familiar with as a first generation Filipino-Egyptian-American. Malaka grew up navigating three different cultures and two religions...something Chris can relate to as a Dominican-Colombian-American who grew up in the vibrant city of Queens, New York. Listen to learn more about how Malaka's thinking about the question "What are you?" evolved and inspired her to write her first graphic memoir I Was Their American Dream. Her latest book It Won't Always Be Like This is out now.

“It was almost like my true roots were exposed by sharing this recipe with you,” says Malaka Gharib, NPR editor, cartoonist, and graphic novelist. Growing up in California with Filipino and Egyptian parents, she recalls being encouraged to “suppress the Filipino and Egyptianness so you could succeed in this country.” In this episode she explains how she reconnected with her unique heritage - to find her flavor - and celebrate this cherished family dish. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/rajesh-mirchandani5/message

Whether it's superheroes like The Avengers or slice-of-life cartoons in the New Yorker, comics capture our imaginations like no other art form. A few small panels can take us to another galaxy or show us life from someone else's point of view.

Saturday was Free Comic Book Day so we're talking to NPR editor and Nashville-based artist Malaka Gharib, whose work was included in the national promotion. We'll also be joined by other local illustrators about how they got into comics and how they tell stories through their unique art styles.

Firoozeh Dumas is the acclaimed author of FUNNY IN FARSI, which was a finalist for the Thurber Prize for American Humor. In her new memoir LAUGHING WITHOUT AN ACCENT she shares stories both tender and humorous on being a citizen of the world, on her well-meaning family, and on amusing cultural conundrums. Malaka Gharib is an artist, journalist, and writer. Her graphic memoir I WAS THEIR AMERICAN DREAM is at once a coming-of-age story and a reminder of the thousands of immigrants who come to America in search for a better life for themselves and their children. Now let's join these two authors in conversation with one another.

Throughout the 10 stories in Land of Big Numbers, Te-Ping Chen — a founding member of NüVoices — sketches the interior lives of her protagonists, who live in (or are connected to) China: a man determined to strike it rich in the stock market, a migrant worker employed at a flower shop who is infatuated with a customer, and a government employee being stalked by her ex-boyfriend. Inspired by her years living in Beijing and Hong Kong as a foreign correspondent for the Wall Street Journal, Chen drew upon her travels and the remarkable lives of people she met to construct a world that didn't fit neatly into news reports. The debut author speaks with NüVoices chair Joanna Chiu and New York chapter member Megan Cattel on her observations of modern China, the transferable skills of journalism to fiction, and advice on navigating the publishing industry. Recommendations: Te-Ping: Do Not Say We Have Nothing, by Madeleine Thien, and Both Ways Is the Only Way I Want It, by Maile Meloy.Joanna: Piranesi, by Susanna Clarke, Invisible, by Paul Auster, and The Woo-Woo, by Lindsay Wong. Megan: Notes of a Crocodile, by Qiu Miaojin (English translation by Bonnie Huie), I Was Their American Dream, by Malaka Gharib, and The Wedding Banquet, directed by Ang Lee.

Growing up, Malaka Gharib '08 struggled to find her identity as a first-generation American and didn't know how to balance embracing her Egyptian and Filipino roots with assimilating into American culture. Eventually, Gharib learned it was up to her to define her cultural identity. Today, Gharib covers the global health beat for NPR and is an award-winning author, illustrator and cartoonist. Gharib is also the author of "I Was Their American Dream: A Graphic Memoir" and is working on a new book, "It Won't Always Be Like This." Gharib discusses how she found her identity, her adjustment to life in the U.S., what it has been like reporting on the pandemic, how Syracuse University prepared her for a career as a journalist, and the most valuable piece of advice she ever received at SU.

"I Was Their American Dream" is a graphic novel by NPR deputy editor Malaka Gharib. Gharib is Egyptian-Filipina-American and grew up with her immigrant parents in California. Her book explores her multicultural identity and how she felt she had to adapt to different traditions, languages, and religions with the different people in her life. Nguyên Khôi Nguyễn, also an author, can relate. His work focuses on his identity as Vietnamese-American. Both Gharib and Nguyễn join us this hour to share their stories and to discuss what it means to be a first-generation American in 2020. Our guests: Malaka Gharib , author of "I Was Their American Dream," and deputy editor and digital strategist on NPR's global health and development team Nguyên Khôi Nguyễn , author of "The Gulf" and "Bittersweet: A Pandemic Sketchbook," and digital media lecturer at Loyola University Maryland

Navigating between three worlds as a Filipino-Egyptian in America, Malaka Gharib grew up struggling to grasp what it meant to live the American Dream. That is, until she wrote and drew her first graphic memoir, “I Was Their American Dream.” We break bread over the role of food in defining -- and confounding -- our cultural identities, drink a piquette that piques our interests in natural wine, and be ‘N Sync in our loves for fanfic. Malaka finds herself in a mukbang of Spam, Eddie yearns to be on the beach, and Alexya goes emo in the studio.

This episode is a conversation with NPR journalist Malaka Gharib and the author behind the book I Was Their American Dream.  We discuss the pursuit of creativity, Malaka’s path to journalism, and the unexpected impetus to her book. We also talked about the current political climate, the importance of owning and sharing our stories, and the new opportunity we have to be more visible as Filipinos.   Warning: some adult language (because we’re adults) Photo Credit: Andrew Castro

One part Mari Andrew, one part Marjane Satrapi, I Was Their American Dream: A Graphic Memoir is a triumphant tale of self-discovery, a celebration of a family's rich heritage, and a love letter to American immigrant freedom. Malaka Gharib's illustrations come alive with teenage antics and earnest questions about identity and culture, while providing thoughtful insight into the lives of modern immigrants and the generation of millennial children they raised. Malaka's upbringing will look familiar to anyone who grew up in the pre-internet era, but her particular story is a heartfelt tribute to the American immigrants who have invested their future in the promise of the American dream. The daughter of parents with unfulfilled dream s themselves, Malaka navigates her childhood chasing her parents' ideals, learning to code-switch between her family's Filipino and Egyptian customs, adapting to white culture to fit in, crushing on skater boys, and trying to understand the tension between holding onto cultural values and trying to be an all-American kid. Gharib is in conversation with Michael Nairat, aka Producer Mike, aka DJ waxstyles, who has zero formal training in DJing or producing, but is somehow still allowed to do both. 

Zine queen, cartoonist, artist, illustrator Malaka Gharib dives into her creative, Washington DC, including her soon-to-be-released graphic novel/memoir, "I Was Their American Dream," and "Runcible Spoon," her long-running food zine that reached national audiences, straight out of the gate.

Whenever someone working in strategy or marketing says, "I just want to do work that has more meaning," Malaka's face is one of the faces that rushes through my head as an example of someone who is building a life and career around meaning. After a flirtation with the music industry and the agency world, Malaka has spent much of her career writing about some of the most challenging topics our world confronts - conflict and poverty. Based in Washington D.C., Malaka has worked for ONE.ORG, the Malala Fund, and is now an editor at NPR. She is also working on a graphic novel "I Was Their American Dream," in which she's capturing stories about growing up in some fourth dimension straddling Egypt, America, and the Philipines.
