Talking Society: Where Are You From? The Immigrants Story

It’s a question that seems simple — until it’s not. For many immigrants and children of immigrants, it’s loaded with complexity. Is it where you were born? Where you were raised? Where has become your home? The answer can feel difficult especially because one simple answer may mean reducing an entire part of yourself.

In this episode, I sit down with Urmi Hossain — a Bengali-Italian living in Montreal — to explore the layered experience of growing up across cultures. We talk about the identity struggles that come with migration, what it means to grow in unfamiliar places, and how Urmi is using her voice to champion women’s empowerment.
