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.

EPISODE REVISIT - listen to one of our first episodes with Rekha Rajkumar.
What a joy it was to talk with our good friend, Rekha (well, Shailushi's good friend. Kosha poached her. You learn about Kosha's friend-poaching habits in this episode.)
Rekha Rajkumar is a first generation American whose parents immigrated from South India. She has 2 kids of her own now, and is coming full circle in managing to balance between two cultures. She shared her experience growing up in an predominantly white suburb, her thoughts on the Indian matchmaking system and how she knew someone else had written her partner's "bio data."
Calling all Indians (be they immigrant, first-generation or anything else), please submit YOUR enchilada recipe. This is vital research we must do. Listen to find out why. We also learn that Kosha is weird about other people's French fries.
Rekha is insightful, smart and hilarious. Enjoy Rekha Rajkumar is Speaking.
