season 2 - episode 1

We Are all Americans is back with Season two . In episode one* Jada Amina, a self proclaimed “Black-South-Side-Chicagoan,” talks about the messiness of being a child of diaspora with African, Creole, German and Native American heritage, and their reasons for not participating in US governmental systems like voting and tribal registration. We Are All Americans is a podcast series Inspired by the fact that my Russian great-grandfather gained his US citizenship after serving in the US Army and my Lithuanian (or Austrian, or Russian, or Latvian - depending on who is telling the story) great-grandmother entered the US on fake passport. Each episode is a different recorded conversations about how family stories are passed down from generation to generation and what it means to be American in the contexts of multiculturalism, immigration, military service, black lives matter, white privilege, and indigeneity. * Recorded on November 7, 2018. via video chat in Los Angeles, CA and Chicago, IL.
