When Bad Bunny takes the stage in Spanish, millions celebrate. But for many Puerto Ricans, it lands as something deeper: visibility, resistance, and a reminder of a history the United States still struggles to face. In this episode of Immigrantly, Saadia Khan sits down with Becca Ramos, creator of Welcome to El Barrio, (new episodes release every Tuesday) to discuss colonialism, diaspora, and the complicated politics of calling yourself Puerto Rican—not Puerto Rican American. Becca shares what it meant to grow up Afro-Latina in Texas, feeling too Black in some rooms, not Latino enough in others, and how that tension pushed her to build a platform for her community. The discussion unpacks Puerto Rico's territorial status, the myth of assimilation, the stereotypes that haunt Latino identity in U.S. media, and why joy itself can be a political act. This episode is about who gets ownership over history, language, and home. And what happens when people decide to define those things for themselves?

The child who hit his father not knowing it was his father; he was kidnapped at birth!
This coverage was made possible by a grant from URL Collective, a non-profit supporting local diverse media In this reflection episode of Borderly, host and journalist Mario Carrillo returns to the U.S.–Mexico border that shaped his life to ask what the border really is and what it has asked of those who live with it. Through deeply personal stories, Mario reflects on proposing to his wife while overlooking Ciudad Juárez, navigating a nearly seven-year immigration process, and crossing the border together for her final visa interview after decades of separation from her country of birth. He recounts the fear, uncertainty, and cruelty of the immigration system, alongside the hope and belonging that continue to exist at the border every day. This episode is an invitation to slow down, resist flattening the border into myth or argument, and listen more carefully to the people and places we think we already understand.

In the final episode of Borderly, host Mario Carrillo turns to the people who carry the border's weight long after headlines fade. From immigration law to community care, this conversation centers on what it means to show up with dignity when systems fail, and lives hang in the balance. Mario sits down with Melissa M. López, Executive Director of Estrella del Paso, to explore what welcoming people with dignity looks like in practice, not as policy, but as daily work. They reflect on growing up in El Paso, the emotional toll of immigration advocacy, the lasting impact of family separation, and why border communities are so often asked to absorb the consequences of decisions made far away. As Borderly comes to a close, this episode brings the series full circle, returning to El Paso not as a symbol, but as a real place shaped by care, resilience, and responsibility. Wherever borders exist, people quietly hold communities together. This is their story. Borderly is a project of Immigrantly. New episodes follow weekly in January.

In the first two episodes of Borderly, we explored the history, journalism, and lived realities of El Paso and Ciudad Juárez. In Episode 3, we turn to art as memory, resistance, and belonging. Host Mario Carrillo sits down with Patrick Gabaldon, an El Paso–born artist and public defender whose vibrant work reshapes how the border is seen, felt, and remembered. From cactus portraits and desert color palettes to murals at the El Paso airport, Patrick's art challenges the flat, fear-driven narratives often attached to border cities. They talk about growing up on the border, leaving and finding their way back, and why El Paso's art scene is one of the most powerful and underrated cultural forces in the country. Patrick shares family stories that blur history and folklore, reflects on how law and art intersect in his life, and explains why blooming brightly in a desert landscape is a political act. This episode is about place, pride, and the creative pulse of a city that refuses to be reduced to headlines. It's an invitation to look closer at El Paso, at the border, and at the art that records its truth. Borderly is a project of Immigrantly. New episodes follow weekly in January.

Boastful Pharaoh will have a ridiculous death: He will be like an Alligator dropped into the Middle of the Sahara Desert!
This episode is about how a place learns to remember itself. Journalist Bob Moore has spent nearly four decades reporting from El Paso, witnessing the border's evolution through policy shifts, political cycles, tragedy, and resilience. In conversation with host Mario Carrillo, he reflects on what it means to tell the story of a border city over time, not as a headline, but as a lived reality. The discussion moves from El Paso in the 1980s, when crossing was fluid and routine, through the rise of border enforcement, post-9/11 security, family separation, and the ways national immigration debates have repeatedly landed on local communities. Moore speaks candidly about the role of local journalism, the responsibility of reporting on your own neighbors, carrying grief, and staying after the cameras leave. August 3, 2019, is part of this story. The conversation places that day within a longer arc, one shaped by language, fear, political power, and the quiet work of people who insist on documenting what really happened and why it matters. This episode examines El Paso not as a symbol but as a city: complex, welcoming, strained, resilient. A place that refuses to be reduced. Caution: This episode includes discussion of mass violence, hate crimes, and immigration-related trauma. No graphic details are described. New episodes follow weekly in January.

This is Part One of Borderly, a limited series by Immigrantly exploring life on the U.S.–Mexico border through history, memory, and lived experience. Before walls, patrols, or policy debates, there was a river. In this opening episode, host Mario Carrillo returns to El Paso to examine how the border came into existence and what was lost when a line was drawn through land, families, and identity. The episode traces the border's origins from the Rio Grande as a shared lifeline for Indigenous communities, through colonization, war, and the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. Mario reflects on growing up crossing the border freely, leaving El Paso, and what it meant to come back. The episode also features historian Yolanda Chávez Leyva, who shares her border story and decades of research on the El Paso–Juárez region. Her work reveals how revolution, migration, labor, and racial hierarchies shaped the area, and how cruelty and generosity have coexisted here for generations. This episode lays the foundation for the series: the border not as a country's edge, but as a place with its own center, history, and meaning. New episodes follow weekly in January.

As the year comes to a close, Immigrantly host Saadia Khan reflects on belonging, faith, and identity without assimilation. In this solo year-end episode, Saadia shares why she doesn't celebrate Christmas, having grown up in Pakistan surrounded by nearly three million Christians who do, and how witnessing joy across difference has shaped her understanding of respect, pluralism, and belonging. She reflects on holding on to her Muslim identity on her own terms, without turning it into an assimilation exercise. Saadia also looks back on an unexpected but transformative 2025 for Immigrantly Media: launching the Love-ly relationships podcast with Mehak, producing over 200 episodes across the network, and building an app that emerged organically from her own immigrant experience of self-censorship and identity editing. Looking ahead to 2026 with cautious optimism, she previews what's next, including Bitefully, a new food podcast with MasterChef winner Claudia Sandoval, and Borderly, a four-part Immigrantly series centered on human stories from the U.S.–Mexico border. This episode is both a reflection and a thank-you to the community that makes Immigrantly possible—and an invitation to end the year by holding on to the parts of ourselves we were once told to edit.

In this deeply human and sharply funny conversation, Palestinian American comedian Lana Salah joins Saadia in the studio for an unfiltered exploration of comedy, identity, loss, and truth-telling in a world that often prefers silence. Lana, an engineer-turned-comedian whose life spans the Bay Area, the Middle East, and now Los Angeles, breaks down how humor becomes cultural critique, emotional survival, and a form of resistance. From navigating rooms where her Palestinian identity is met with discomfort, to balancing factual vs. emotional truth onstage, to turning the heaviness of genocide, grief, and personal history into art, Lana holds nothing back. Saadia and Lana dive into: How comedy becomes a vessel for truths that policy papers can't deliver The tension between emotional truth vs. factual truth in stand-up Why Muslim women are not a monolith and never were The cost and power of speaking honestly about Palestine in American comedy spaces How loss, family, and survival shape Lana's voice onstage Her unexpected journey from engineering to performing at the Comedy Store This episode is raw, tender, political, and sometimes laugh-out-loud funny.

Thanksgiving is marketed as a serene celebration of gratitude, family, and food, but Saadia's immigrant household tells a different story. In this extended solo episode, she unpacks the chaos that unfolds when her husband and daughters take over the kitchen, the tradition-defying choice to cook lamb instead of turkey, and the reality of observing the holiday completely sober (which, spoiler: makes everything more intense). Saadia uses her own experiences to reflect on how immigrants reshape American holidays, how gratitude can coexist with frustration, and why acknowledging the messy parts of tradition might actually make them more meaningful.

What does it mean to belong in America without proving your worth? Why are immigrants still expected to be extraordinary just to be seen as enough? And what happens when we stop performing successfully and simply allow ourselves to be human? In this deeply resonant conversation, host Saadia Khan is joined by Bilal Lakhani, Pakistani-American journalist, writer, and host of the podcast pehchaan, to explore identity, home, immigrant guilt, and the often-unspoken emotional cost of leaving the place you love. Bilal shares how moving from Karachi to the United States led to clinical depression, why raising his daughter changed his understanding of belonging, and how many immigrants internalize the belief that they must achieve in order to deserve space in America. The episode unpacks The pressure on immigrants to be extraordinary rather than ordinary humans Why do many naturalized citizens hesitate to call themselves "immigrants?” Why pauses, joy, and rest are a form of quiet protest The evolving future of Pakistani-American identity and representation Whether you identify as an immigrant, first-gen, third-culture kid, or simply someone trying to understand your place in the world, this conversation offers language, community, and comfort.

What if the story you've been told about “overpopulation” is a lie? Historian Dr. Lina-Maria Murillo, author of Fighting for Control: Power, Reproductive Care, and Race in the U.S.–Mexico Borderlands, joins Saadia Khan to unravel a century of reproductive politics that have shaped how we talk about abortion, contraception, and “desirability.” The episode exposes how eugenics quietly evolved into modern population-control policies and why blaming poor folks for “too many children” masks the real crisis: resource hoarding and racial capitalism. From Mexican border clinics to U.S. legislative battles, this conversation challenges everything we think we know about reproductive rights. It's uncomfortable, revelatory, and necessary. Listen to understand why true reproductive justice means more than the right not to have children; it means the right to raise them in safety, dignity, and care.

Il y a 50 ans, le 6 novembre 1975, des milliers de Marocains entrent sur le territoire du Sahara occidental. Des civils traversent alors la frontière à l'appel du roi Hassan II : c'est la Marche verte. Le chef d'État revendique ce territoire encore sous domination espagnole, estimant qu'il fait historiquement partie du Maroc et qu'il lui a été injustement spolié lors de la colonisation. Cette démonstration de force patriotique et populaire aboutit à la signature des accords de Madrid en 1975 et au retrait des Espagnols. Matthias Raynal a rencontré d'anciens marcheurs. De notre correspondant à Casablanca C'est un reportage radio, mais Ali, 72 ans, tient à répondre à l'interview, entouré de ses reliques. « Ça, c'est le Coran d'époque, c'est avec lui qu'on a récupéré le Sahara. C'était ça notre seule arme, avec ça, le drapeau du Maroc », expose le marcheur de l'époque. Les participants étaient des civils, la marche pacifique. Ali exhibe fièrement son wissam, la médaille qu'il a reçue pour cette marche. Il l'a accrochée au col de sa tunique sahraouie. Le 16 octobre 1975, le roi Hassan II s'adresse à la nation. Il appelle les Marocains à marcher vers le Sahara occidental. Il souhaite que 350 000 personnes s'y rendent pour montrer au monde que son pays n'abandonnera pas ses revendications sur ce territoire. « Au moment du discours, j'étais à la maison, avec ma famille. Il y avait un tel enthousiasme que quand je l'ai entendu, je me suis levé et je leur ai dit : ''je vais partir, notre roi nous demande de récupérer notre terre''. On est parti pour combattre la colonisation, pour poursuivre l'indépendance de notre pays », raconte Ali. Le 6 novembre 1975, l'ordre est donné de traverser la frontière. « On a mis des matelas sur les barbelés pour les mettre à terre. Le drapeau espagnol a été enlevé, on a hissé le drapeau marocain », continue-t-il. Saadia avait seulement 16 ans. Elle se souvient de l'atmosphère qui régnait entre les participants. « On s'est retrouvées entre femmes de tout le Maroc. On était toutes contentes. On n'avait peur de rien. C'était comme si on faisait le pèlerinage ! », explique-t-elle. Elle traversait son pays et rencontrait des Sahraouis pour la première fois. « À Tarfaya, les femmes Sahraouies venaient nous voir, elles venaient passer la journée avec nous dans les tentes, elles étaient contentes qu'on soit là. On s'est liées d'amitié, on passait notre temps ensemble à rigoler, à discuter », poursuit-Saadia. À son retour à Casablanca, elle prit conscience de ce qui venait de se passer. Saadia, Ali et les autres furent accueillis en héros. Tout le monde les attendait. Et partout, se répétaient les mêmes scènes de liesse.

Award-winning novelist Shobha Rao joins Saadia Khan to talk about the stories that define and defy us. In this wide-ranging conversation, Shobha reflects on immigrating to the U.S. at age seven, learning English through Little House on the Prairie, and how the quiet of her first snowfall changed her forever. Her latest book, Indian Country, connects the legacies of British colonialism and American expansion while weaving a tender meditation on marriage, identity, and the longing for home. Shobha shares how failure shaped her writing, why language can both limit and liberate, and what “mutating through love” truly means.

Come for the nuance, stay for the vibes! Link below https://hyphenly.beehiiv.com In this powerful solo episode of Immigrantly, host Saadia Khan shares why she is angry and why she is paying close attention to the words we use around immigration. Prompted by a recent ProPublica investigation by journalist Hannah Allam, Saadia explores how government agencies like ICE use terms like “removable,” “alien,” and “target” to strip immigrants of their humanity. From media narratives to political rhetoric, Saadia breaks down how language builds systems and why the shift in migrant demographics, especially the rise of families and children crossing the border, has triggered a more fear-based response in both policy and media. This episode is a reflection, a call-out, and a call-in because changing the language is the first step toward changing the system. Join us as we create new intellectual engagement for our audience.

In this solo episode of Immigrantly, Saadia Khan reflects on the power of intuition, the challenge of separating her identity from the company she built, and why messy, unpolished stories matter. Drawing from her Eastern cultural roots, Saadia explores how intuition has long guided her personal life, yet often feels harder to trust in her role as an entrepreneur. She unpacks how fear can masquerade as intuition, what it means to stop equating her self-worth with Immigrantly's ups and downs, and the tools she's using to reconnect with her intuitive voice. If you've ever felt torn between who you are and what you do, this candid reflection is for you.

In this gripping episode of Immigrantly, Saadia Khan sits down with Mory Fontanez, intuitive coach, author of “Higher Self: Reclaiming the Power of Your Intuition”, and daughter of Iranian immigrants, to dig into the messy, fascinating truth about our inner voice. Their conversation moves from the personal to the cultural to the global: what happens when fear masquerades as intuition, how immigrant stories shape the way we listen to ourselves, why Western culture sidelines instinct while Eastern traditions revere it, and what it means to reclaim your higher self in a world designed to keep us in fear. Saadia pushes Mory on whether fear can sometimes be a gateway to clarity, shares her own anxieties as a Muslim immigrant in America, and asks whether intuition might be the key to building compassion in a fractured world. Mory, in turn, reveals why intuition is never wrong, how leaders quietly rely on it to make billion-dollar decisions, and why saying your gut instinct out loud might change everything. If you've ever ignored that little nudge and regretted it, or if you've wondered whether your gut is wisdom or just anxiety, this conversation will make you rethink the most underrated power you already have.

In this exclusive preview, Lidia joins host Saadia Khan to discuss the podcast's backstory, the complex moral terrain of friendship, and her personal connection-her boyfriend's mother was the lead federal prosecutor on the case. The episode explores how systems of power, race, immigration, and economic survival collided in ways that still echo today. It's a layered portrait of immigrant resilience, impossible decisions, and the untold legacy of Chinatown's exclusion. Join us as we create new intellectual engagement for our audience.

In this episode, chef and entrepreneur Irene Li joins Saadia Khan for a powerful conversation about identity, food systems, and the evolving meaning of tradition. As the youngest-ever James Beard Leadership Award winner and co-founder of Mei Mei Dumplings, Irene has redefined what Chinese American cuisine can be, turning a Boston food truck into a values-driven culinary movement. The episode explores why dumplings are more than comfort food, how open-book management changed Irene's business, and why cultural appropriation in food needs a new framework, one that is rooted in reciprocity, transparency, and justice. Whether you're a food lover, a budding entrepreneur, or just hungry for stories that stir the pot, this episode delivers. Join us as we create new intellectual engagement for our audience.
