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.

We were truly blown away and inspired by Kristin Salvador. Part Chinese, but raised culturally Filipino, Kristin has been through her share of high highs and low lows as a first-generation American. Her parents immigrated from the Phillippines in 1971, she and her sister grew up in the Chicagoland area where Kristin was able to foster her love of horror movies, sushi and dollhouse renovation. But when she wanted to follow her love of graphic design into a career, her parents simply "didn't get it." Kristin lives in Oak Park, IL with her husband Scott and their two children. She an amazing graphic designer (just check out our logo or Shailushi's Ted Talk presentation). Do yourselves a favor and listen to Kristin Salvador Is Speaking. You will fall in love with her too.
