I Am Speaking is a podcast focused on the lives of “othered” Americans. The goal of this podcast is to hear, share, and amplify the voices of Americans--both citizens and noncitizens-who have felt like outsiders in their homes. Hosted by first-generation Indian-American sisters, I Am Speaking highlights the unique experiences of people who feel or have been marginalized by the current US cultural hegemony in their communities.

Kosha here:
Shailushi is my older sister and my best friend. She’s my mentor and my confidante. And a few years ago, we were told that she had cancer. And it was everywhere. And suddenly, my life imploded a little bit. Then a badass oncologist came on the scene. Dr Amina Ahmed was kind, she was smart, she was hopeful…and she saved my sister’s life. And in doing so, she kept my family whole.
Today on the last of the birthday surprises, on Shailushi’s actual birthday, we talk to Dr Amina Ahmed. We discuss her journey from being told she couldn’t to showing the world that she can and will. This woman is incredible. But more than anything, she is kind, smart, and hopeful.
Happy Birthday to my big sister. Listen for a little special message in the intro too. Shailushi is special to so many people.
