Besties Chat About Immigration – TEASER

The first season of (Un)marginalised has already finished, but lucky for you, I’ve produced a special, bonus episode! In this episode I am chatting with one of my best friends, a fellow immigrant and book lover, Shira.

We talk about immigrating to Australia, slang, accent, making friends, and so much more. We had so many laughs, and I’m sure you’ll find it interesting.

This episode is released only to my supportive patrons who help make sure this website exist, the podcast to be available for free, and my writings to continue.

Welcome to (Un)marginalised

(Un)marginalised reveals the truth about living on the intersection of diverse identities. Founded and hosted by me, Liel K. Bridgford, the show focuses on improving all of our understandings of ourselves and each other. The podcast reveals hidden truths we all want to know about through interviews of real people who belong to multiple disadvantaged groups. We’re talking about everything – anything from sports, to fashion, parenthood, mental health, disability, migration and much more. We’re exploring the triumphs, resilience, struggles and joys of our multilayered existence. We’re challenging myths and encouraging empathy, equality and love. Join me to laugh, cry, enjoy, and learn.

In this pilot episode, I talk about why I started this podcast, and what I mean by intersectionality.
