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.

Academic Bowl. Math Team. Paper punch art projects. Paper link competitions. Fish Fry. The memories and nostalgia go on and on.
Mrs. Joanna Cave was a huge influence in Shailushi and Kosha’s lives (and those of the entire Baxi Family). Mrs Cave, who has gone by Bunny for her entire life because she was born on Easter, was the 8th grade teacher at St. Stephen’s School in Streator, IL. She only taught Shailushi in class, but the rest of the Baxi Family was lucky to know her and be embraced by the entire Cave family (including husband George, and sons Joe, Jorge (or Bee), and twins Denny and Danny).
This episode is filled to the brim with memories of the younger, perhaps more innocent, Kosha and Shailushi. But it was a joy to speak with Mrs. Cave as adults - to reminisce with her and to thank her for everything she has given to those two brown girls in the middle of a farm town in the middle of Illinois all those years ago.
