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 started in business but took a turn toward human rights when I pursued my degree at Columbia University. Along the way, I felt a deep calling to challenge stereotypes and amplify immigrant voices. That’s how Immigrantly was born—as a podcast sparking bold, necessary conversations. Today, it has grown into a forward-thinking media startup, telling nuanced, immersive stories about identity, belonging, and the immigrant experience. Think Humans of New York—but with an unconventional, thought-provoking twist.
At Immigrantly Media, we’re on a mission to disrupt one-dimensional narratives and explore the rich, complex realities of over 70 million immigrants and people of color in America. With seven active podcasts (and more in the works), we cover everything from deep cultural conversations on Immigrantly to Gen Z pop culture on Banterly, ethical true crime on Invisible Hate, sports history on Sportly, and love & relationships on Love-ly.
What sets us apart? We don’t just tell stories—we create space for self-discovery and unapologetic identity.
Our conversations are all-embracing, nuanced, funny, reflective, and even disruptive but NEVER dull. 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, ethical true crime stories on Invisible Hate, venturing into history and sports on Sportly, to exploring love and relationships on Love-ly.
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
Welcome to Immigrantly!
XOXO,
Saadia
