Episode 61 – Modeling Intersectionality with Yasmin Almokhamad Sarkisian
The task of discovering our individual identity is made that much more challenging when our very foundation is built upon shifting sands. Yasmin was raised by a Christian-Armenian mother and Muslim-Syrian father who emigrated to the United States when Yasmin was a child. In the midst of the push & pull of competing cultures, religious beliefs, and societal expectations, they were able to forge an identity uniquely theirs. Yasmin’s confidence is as compelling as her vulnerability is disarming – truly, a model for us all.
