Malaka Gharib is the deputy editor and digital strategist at NPR’s Goats and Soda global development blog. But she’s also currently in the process of writing her graphic memoir about being a first generation American, and biracial: she’s half-Filipino and half-Egyptian. So join us today as we talk about what it’s like to grow up in a multiracial, multinational family, struggling with what it means to be American, and why a hookah and mint tea on the patio is one of the pleasures of life.
