S2 Episode 5: My Parents' Intentions – Bound by the Cloak
No matter what your background is or where you come from, we are a product of our upbringing. The experience of immigrating to a new place as a child has a profound effect on children, their parents, and the family as a whole. In this episode we speak with Kel, a young author who co-wrote a book about this very experience.
