  • Powerful intimacy

    A podcast that centers immigrant stories without putting immigrants into a box! I’m so impressed by the diverse range of topics that Immigrantly has covered in the past. Saadia has great chemistry with her guests to the point where it feels like I’m overhearing a conversation between friends. Many of my favorite episodes stay with me long after I power off my headphones!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Who Really Owns This Art? A Smithsonian Insider Gets Honest
Q: Let's talk about the current philosophy then. How is it changing?
Dowd explains that the Smithsonian is moving away from a stagnant, display-only mindset toward actively engaging communities through conversations, public programming, and festivals, creating a 'third space' where audiences can participate and reflect on culture.
The Promise of Queens
Q: What gives you hope in the face of a system that feels rigged against progressive movements?
Advances come from direct, authentic engagement with everyday people; gatekeepers are becoming less relevant as door-knocking and grassroots organizing scale through personal storytelling and social media.
Once You Leave, You're Never the Same
Q: Why did you choose to focus on women in your content and Transplants?
There was a strong alignment with my audience—Brazilian women in the city faced unique challenges, and creating spaces for connection and empowerment became central to my mission.
Once You Leave, You're Never the Same
Q: Was moving to New York a strategic decision for your career, or did it happen more by chance?
It happened through a mix of chance and opportunity; a visa path opened up, recruiters maintained contact, and eventually a green card allowed broader independence, which shaped the work I could do.
Once You Leave, You're Never the Same
Q: Laura, when you came to the US, what hit you first that blogs or movies hadn't prepared you for?
The winter was the big shock; packing, snow, and learning how to dress for New York winters felt like a survival test that went beyond cultural shocks.
