Culture Brokers: Stories from 1.5 Generation Immigrants

Hosts Mana Sadeghipour and Tahseen Chowdhury explore current issues from the perspective of 1.5 generation immigrants. Stuck between the 1st and 2nd generation, a 1.5 generation immigrant is someone who immigrates to a new country before or during adolescence. With more than one culture influencing their identity, 1.5 generationers are a unique group with a deep understanding of what it means to navigate life through a diverse lens; essentially making them culture brokers - the ones who can build bridges across our communities.

    Unpacking Stinky Lunch Trauma - with Andrew & Sadi from 6Spots

    In this episode, Mana and Tahseen sit down with Andrew Do and Sadi Muktadir, the food critics and faces behind 6spots - their platform for sharing interviews conducted with restaurants/eateries in Toronto by immigrants and new Canadians. We talk about food being used as bragging rights for Canada's multiculturalism and aspects that are typically not part of the conversation: food aesthetics, gatekeeping in food media, the regional dishes that often don't make it to the menu, cuisine as a reflection of immigration policy, and learning to fight back when kids told you your lunch stank. Make sure to check out 6spots @ http://www.6ixspots.com/archived, and remember to support local businesses! Andrew can be followed on Twitter @ADoAboutThings, and Sadi can be followed on Instagram @6thirst.
