To kick off Immigrant Heritage Month, Brend and Ana Sheila speak to two immigrant leaders that are working to build a more inclusive community.
First, we speak to Saadia Khan, a storyteller, human rights activist, and social entrepreneur. She is the founder and host of the award-winning podcast and digital platform, Immigrantly, which challenges simplistic narratives around the immigrant experience. Saadia is also the co-producer and co-host of the Invisible Hate podcast, an ethical true crime podcast. Saadia has worked with organizations like Human Rights First, UN Women, and other UN entities, advocating for women's rights and justice. Her passion for storytelling extends to her written work, as she contributes to publications like Yes! Magazine, the Brown Girl Magazine, the Globe Post & Medium.
Next, we speak to Leydy Rangel, Communications Director at UFW Foundation, a non-profit that empowers and advocates for immigrants and farm workers. Leydy moved to the U.S. in 2004, grew up as an undocumented immigrant and has been
protected from deportation as a DACA recipient since 2013. By utilizing strategic
communications, she passionately advocates for both worker’s rights and pro-
immigrant federal policies, while incorporating her personal experience as an
undocumented person into her work. In 2021, she and five other DACA recipients
met with President Biden in the Oval Office to discuss immigration.
