Listen now | I had a memorable time engaging Aisha Jamal; an Afghan immigrant, College Professor, Director and writer of the documentary, "A Kandahar Away". Her story chronicled the typical journey of a Canadian immigrant - the joy of arrival, the shock of reality, the struggle with integration, the rise through a competitive career and the everyday complexity of bias - status, look, age, accent, gender, religion and what have you! Much more amazing is the discovery that even in the same immigrant family, there are different conceptions about what it means to be Canadian. Shocking! You will enjoy this episode of the Immigrant Life Podcast!
