Hi, I'm Sadiah Khan, founder of Immigrantly Media, host of the Immigrantly podcast, social commentator, entrepreneur, and the person desperately trying to bring nuance back to immigrant identity.

Five years and I've talked to over 300 guests from Grammy winner, Arrujas Tab and comedian

Harrikan Dupalu to Dr. Laurie Santos and NYC Mayor Zaraamani.

Basically, if they are interesting, curious or slightly chaotic, they've probably been on the show.

We dive into identity, belonging, culture,

the messy, funny, complicated stuff that makes us human.

And yes, the Guardian, CNN and a new storyboard have all shown us love.

New episodes drop every Tuesday.

So grab your try and your curiosity.

This is Immigrant League, where we rewrite the immigrant narrative one story at a time.

Okay, you know this fable. It's one of the oldest stories we have.

One day the scorpion asked the frog if you can have a ride across the raging river.

The frog agrees.

And right when they get to the middle of the torrent, the scorpion bites the frog,

dooming them both to the raging current.

Why? asked the frog.

Why? Now we will both perish.

You know I had to.

Say it's a scorpion.

It is my nature.

And we tell that story like we're the frog.

Like we're reasonable. Like we're trusting, betrayed by the other. But I keep thinking that we're the ones who walked into the forest with the sharp sticks.
