Hey Visitor!

Welcome to our page. My name is Saadia Khan. I am an Immigrant, a rights activist, an inclusive feminist, a mom, and an ardent coffee drinker. I am also the founder and CEO of an award-winning Media company, called Immigrantly Media. My journey from a Business major to a Columbia University-trained Human Rights activist led me to the creation of Immigrantly, born out of a deep commitment to amplify immigrant voices in the wake of the transformative 2016 elections. Immigrantly began as a podcast challenging stereotypes and bridging gaps between communities. Today, it has evolved into a forward-thinking media startup that aims to explore America, the immigrant experience, and diverse stories through immersive storytelling-Imagine Humans of NY but with an unconventional twist!  We are on a mission to challenge and disrupt one-dimensional narratives about 45 million+ immigrants and people of color in America. 

We have three active podcasts, and four more in development. Our content delves into the complex themes of identity, belonging, and assimilation, fostering empathy, education, and advocacy. What sets Immigrantly apart is our commitment to sharing stories; it's our dedication to asserting identities unapologetically and creating a space for self- discovery. Our success lies in our ability to go beyond the surface, addressing the core of what it means to be an immigrant in America today.

Our conversations are all-embracing, nuanced, funny, reflective, even disruptive but NEVER boring. We have created a safe space for open dialogue and the exchange of ideas. Immigrantly Media is a reminder that all our stories matter, our voices deserve to be heard, and our contributions enrich the tapestry of America. Our commitment to authenticity and self-discovery remains unwavering as we continue to evolve- we have something for everyone, from deep conversations on Immigrantly, Gen Z pop-culture banter on Banterly to ethical true crime stories on Invisible Hate.

So join us in revolutionizing storytelling- please listen up & subscribe to all our podcasts, 

I will leave you with a quote from my favorite poet, Jalaluddin Rumi "Raise your words, not your voice. It is the rain that grows flowers, not thunder."

So let's raise our words for a kinder, more humane world

XOXO,

Saadia
