Hello listeners! We want to let you know that Episode 4, which was originally slated to appear this week, will not be published.
One of the foundations of our class is the belief that a person's story belongs to them, first and always. In this country, there is a long history of others speaking for and even silencing the stories of immigrants. With our podcast, we strive to amplify stories rather than co-opt them, and we are learning every day how to do better at this.
In this case, our narrator decided they were not comfortable sharing their story in a public venue, and we respect that decision without reservation. We would like to thank the narrator for their time and commitment to our project, and we will continue to honor both the stories and silences of the immigrants in our community.
