The I In Immigrant: Barbara Bell from Brazil

89.1 WBOI’s podcast, The I In Immigrant, is hosted and created by Ahmed Abdelmageed. 

The podcast features interviews with residents about their experiences living as an immigrant in the United States and balancing traditions and family dynamics. 

Barbara Bell is a lot of things. She’s an immigrant. Latina. Brazilian. Black. A newlywed. And VERY tenacious.

Barbara is finding her place in Fort Wayne, IN and talked with Ahmed about her journey to where she is today. In this episode we hear about her college experiences, learning English, and her thoughts on the black experience in America.
