5. The Namesake - south asian girls in an american world

Happy AAPI month! What better way to celebrate than to sit down with a fellow South Asian book lover, Shivani, and talk about The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri! Shivani and I discuss growing up in North America as first-generation Indian immigrants, grappling with different parts of our identities at different parts of our lives, and how the idea of the "American Dream" has evolved over time within our families.
