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.
When YeWin Latt and Minnn Myint Nan Tin came to Indiana roughly 30 years ago they were refugees fleeing Burma's authoritarian government. Flash forward to present day Fort Wayne, which now has one of the most concentrated Burmese populations in the country. YeWin and Minn have also become pillars in the refugee community, seeking to build meaningful connections and educate others about the history anc current state of their home country.
In this interview, YeWin and Minn give listeners a primer on the ongoing conflicts in Burma, how they ended up in northeast Indiana, and the values that they hope to install in their children.
