Today, I’m talking with Myra Flynn—an incredible singer-songwriter, storyteller, and host of Homegoings. Myra’s work resonates deeply with me because she tackles something that’s so relatable: the struggle to define yourself when the world insists on squeezing you into a box. Whether it’s the “model minority” myth or other stereotypes, she’s pushing back against those limiting roles and creating space for stories that go beyond surface-level labels. We explore her journey as a woman of color in the music industry, the inspiration behind Homegoings, and how she navigates the tension between owning her truth and resisting others’ expectations. Her perspective made me rethink some of the assumptions we carry—both positive and negative—about identity and success. This episode is personal, raw, and precisely the conversation I wish I’d heard growing up. If you’ve ever felt unseen or misjudged, Myra’s story will remind you that you’re not alone—and that it’s okay to embrace the contradictions that make you, you. Tune in! Immigrantly is a weekly podcast that celebrates the extraordinariness of immigrant life. We do this by providing our listeners with authentic, accurate insights into the immigrant identity in America. Immigrantly has garnered significant recognition and has been featured in renowned media outlets such as the Nieman Storyboard, The Guardian, The Slowdown, and CNN.

Harris' Thread of Influence: Hotties, a Pantsuit Revival, and other Fashion Politics

You "don't care" about fashion...but you do. It "isn't important"...but it is. In this episode, hosts Juan Diego Ramirez and Sarah Sadhwani explore the intersection of fashion and political trends, centering on Kamala Harris' style impact. They discuss how her signature silk press, pearls, pantsuit, and converse communicate presidential authority...while representing Gen X authenticity. Her fashion choices create focus...without overt emphasis on her femininity. Producer Sofia Sanchez joins the conversation to talk about how coconut dresses, pantsuits, and Hotties for Harris at the latest New York Fashion Week are conveying societal changes and sending political messages. And, Kamala and Donald are both running on the runway, so next week we'll break down fashion trends on the right. Don't miss it. Stream Nationly every Thursday wherever you listen to podcasts. ___ Hosts: Sara Sadhwani and Juan Diego Ramirez | Executive Producer: Saadia Khan | Producer: Sofia Sanchez I Content Writers: Sofia Sanchez I Sound Designer & Editor: Juan Velez | Immigrantly Theme Music: Simon Hutchinson | Other Music: Epidemic Sound Nationly is an Immigrantly Media Production.

Re release: Game Day Patriotism: The Star-Spangled Banner's Sporting Journey

With Super Bowl week upon us and the new administration in the White House, we’re resharing this vital episode from the Sportly archive—because sports have always been about more than just the game. Step into the bleachers of Comiskey Park, 1918, where the Boston Red Sox face the Chicago Cubs in a historic World Series matchup. With Babe Ruth on the mound and World War I casting a long shadow, baseball becomes a much-needed escape. But this game isn't just about the score—it marks the first time "The Star-Spangled Banner" is played at a sporting event, setting the stage for a tradition that would shape American sports forever. Fast forward through history: World War II solidifies the anthem's presence in stadiums. The Civil Rights Movement sees athletes using their platforms to call for justice. Post-9/11, America witnesses both unity and controversy over national symbols in sports. Sportly host Kavitha Davidson dives into the powerful intersection of sports, patriotism, and protest, exploring how athletes have sparked critical conversations about identity and justice. ___ Hosts: Kavitha A.

Racing Beyond Limits: Nicole Teeny’s 50-Mile Showdown with a Horse

This week, Kavitha sits down with Nicole Teeny—a queer Lebanese-American filmmaker, ultramarathon runner, and the host of the ESPN 30 for 30 podcast series GIRL v. HORSE. Nicole sets an audacious goal in this four-part series: to race a horse in a 50-mile ultramarathon. But it’s not just about the finish line—this journey represents a deeply personal quest to reclaim her body and redefine resilience after an epilepsy diagnosis. Kavitha and Nicole discuss what it takes to train for such an unconventional race, the emotional ups and downs, and feeling connected to Horses. The conversation is as much about grit as it is about healing. Expect laughs, raw moments, and a powerful reminder that pushing boundaries—whether in sports or life—is often the greatest victory of all. Hosts: Kavitha A.

Faith on the Field: The Complex Intersection of Religion and Sports

Today on Sportly, Kavitha Davidson discusses the relationship between religion and sports. Stadiums feel like modern-day cathedrals, with fans chanting in unison like a congregation, and Sunday football practically replaces church for many. But how much space should personal faith take up on the field? The conversation covers everything from on-field prayers and team chaplains to controversial debates sparked by cases like Coach Kennedy’s. Why do some religious expressions in sports feel inspiring while others spark backlash? And what does all this say about the delicate balance between personal beliefs and public spaces? Join Kavitha for a timely deep dive into how religion influences sports and what it means for fans, players, and the game itself. Host: Kavitha A.
