Customer Reviews
Jhelum, Pakistan to San Antonio, Texas
I loved every bit of your podcast. Mostly because I was able to relate to it in many different ways. My journey from Pakistan to Texas has gone through many different phases and I’ve never thought about things as optimistically as you do so thank you for your inspiration!
Great podcast

An amazing perspective
As a teacher of ENL students, this perspective is much needed. The adolescent immigrant experience is one that needs to be shared more often. Thank you for sharing!
