Misha Euceph Is The Only One Who Refuses To Be Tokenized Episode 48

Imagine being born in Pakistan and then moving to the United States at age 12, where your family settles into the Tony Beach community of Palos Verdes, California. Can you picture arriving at your new middle school and not knowing where to sit for lunch or who to sit with? Misha Euceph, Founder and CEO of Dustlight Productions, started her podcasting career with “Beginner” an autobiographical podcast series about learning to belong as an immigrant in America and went on to quickly become one of the most admired and prolific podcasters around. But what would you do if, after making a SECOND multi-award winning podcast titled, The Big One: Your Survival Guide, you felt called to make a podcast that honored your Pakistani roots? Would you ignore your instincts and continue to pursue podcast ideas that were more “mainstream”? Or would you follow your heart and create a podcast where all the voices were Muslim but the stories were universal?
