    Olympic Gymnast Houry Gebeshian

    Armenian-American Olympic gymnast, Houry Gebeshian, speaks about her unlikely path to the 2016 Olympics in Rio. Beyond her positive, upbeat attitude, what comes through most powerfully is her unwavering belief in herself - something most of us could stand to emulate!

    The Fight for Inclusivity with Erik Adamian

    On the precipice of the 2024 Election year (in the U.S.), LGBTQ & Trans rights are in the crosshairs of the alt-right, political conservatives, and hate groups alike -- both nationally and locally. In Los Angeles, the convergence of Armenian & Latino communities with the religious far right has placed queer members of both directly at the center of the storm. In this episode, Erik Adamian, president of GALAS (LGBTQ+ Armenian Society of Los Angeles) speaks about the fight over inclusive curricula in California schools; the misconceptions about what is actually being taught; and the cultural immigrant histories that lie at the heart of the opposition's fear. You can reach GALAS directly at www.galasla.org

    Sorry, Bro... with Author Taleen Voskuni

    We couldn't be more excited about the release of the very first book (that we know of), featuring a bisexual Armenian woman as its protagonist - by a major publication house, no less! Sorry, Bro is the debut novel from Armenian-American author Taleen Voskuni. The central themes, which include struggling with Armenianness in the diaspora and coming to terms with one's burgeoning sexual identity, are deftly interwoven with a light-hearted touch and comedic accuracy. This is the type of fun and fast-paced story that makes for a perfect vacation read. Its accessibility is its secret weapon. We look forward to her next novel, Lavash At First Sight, coming out next summer. Taleen can be reached on her website TaleenVoskuni.com IG @taleenauthor Twitter @taleenvoskuni

    The Root of Addiction with Srab Haroutounian

    The causes of addiction have been pondered for ages, but there is an ever-growing consensus that a sense of belonging (or lack thereof) may play an important role, particularly in its inception. It is at once intangible and deeply personal, bringing to bear individual sensitivities and perspectives. In this episode, we discuss Srab's experience of growing up as an Armenian in England and how that led him down a difficult path, resulting in his own bout with addiction, but ultimately resulted in not only his healing, but into fully claiming his true identity. You can reach Srab on IG @mancunian_bars / FB @srabmancunian Or on his website Transformative-Healing.com And on YouTube Mancunian Bars
