About this listen

First generation immigrants are often silenced, left out of discussions about “who belongs here”—even though their voices should be front and center in the conversation. But, food is a universal language. In this episode of Melting Spots, chefs from Besharam, Bini’s Kitchen, D’Maize, Reem’s California, and Beit Rima share stories of using their cooking to speak up, take political action, and enter contemporary debates about immigration and identity in this country.

Melting Spots is a food map & storytelling project from the California Migration Museum that explores how immigrants have shaped San Francisco and fed its residents from the Gold Rush to the latest AI boom. Explore more at calmigration.org/meltingspots
