Episode 26: What Being Armenian Means to Us OFFSCREEN with Jillian and Sophia

This week marks the beginning of our celebration of Armenian History Month!

In this episode, we want to re-introduce ourselves and tell you a bit more about our stories and experiences growing up as Armenian-Americans– and how our identities have shifted and changed as we’ve gotten older. This year was a very difficult one for Armenians around the world and led both of us to re-examine what it means to be Armenian. Now, more than ever is time for us to put everything aside and put our homeland first. At the end of the day, what matters the most isn’t if you go to church every Sunday or if you can speak the language perfectly. What we’ve learned over this year is that those things don’t matter if you don’t do the work to support your country and to support your people and your community.
