A podcast about being a person of color and/or an immigrant in America, hosted by two friends, Iranian-American Anna Hossnieh of iHeart podcasts and Syrian-American Shereen Younes, a filmmaker. They're just trying to make sense of the world, okay? Anna and Shereen take you on a deep-ish dive into the stickiest issues with ridiculous perspectives on life and stuff, and real talk about being considered 'other' in this country.
