Podcast Episode for the Queens Memory Podcast
20 mins | 2022 | Hindi & English

Queens Memory is a community archiving program founded in 2010 and supported by Queens Public Library and Queens College, CUNY.

Season 3 – Our Major Minor Voices – features stories from Queens’ diverse Asian American communities. It includes eight bilingual episodes representing the eight most widely spoken Asian languages in Queens: Bangla, Hindi, Korean, Mandarin, Nepali, Tagalog, Tibetan, and Urdu.

I translated and voiced the Hindi episode. Through the journeys of three different generations of immigrant women, the episode offers us a sense of how they navigated cultural differences, created safe spaces for queer South Asian folks, and their activism within the South Asian community.
