Malaka Gharib Finds the American Dream
Manage episode 237201697 series 1958964
Navigating between three worlds as a Filipino-Egyptian in America, Malaka Gharib grew up struggling to grasp what it meant to live the American Dream. That is, until she wrote and drew her first graphic memoir, “I Was Their American Dream.” We break bread over the role of food in defining -- and confounding -- our cultural identities, drink a piquette that piques our interests in natural wine, and be ‘N Sync in our loves for fanfic. Malaka finds herself in a mukbang of Spam, Eddie yearns to be on the beach, and Alexya goes emo in the studio.
