Spotlight Podcast: Immigrantly

"The Immigrantly Podcast (formerly The Alien Chronicles) is an independent WOC-led, weekly podcast that aims to deconstruct stereotypical narratives of immigrants, their second-generation kids, people of color, and change-makers with cross-cultural, nuanced conversations. Each episode brings a fresh perspective on the issues we address through dialogue full of rich nuances. Immigrantly is just as much about problematizing the forces that shape our identity as the ordinary questions and passions that join us as humans."

Asian Americans in Boston

Boston's Chinatown

"Chinatown, Boston...is the only surviving historic ethnic Chinese enclave in New England since the demise of the Chinatowns in Providence, Rhode Island and Portland, Maine after the 1950s. Because of the high population of Asians and Asian Americans living in this area of Boston, there is an abundance of Chinese and Vietnamese restaurants located in Chinatown. It is one of the most densely populated residential areas in Boston and serves as the largest center of its East Asian and Southeast Asian cultural life...Boston's Chinatown is one of the largest Chinatowns outside of New York City." -- Wikipedia
