Podcast Overview

What does it mean to find a home? For many, home is the place where we feel safe, joyful, and welcomed by the people around us. We use our senses and memories to define what it means, every single day. For Indianapolis immigrants, an understanding of home emerges from dreams, sacrifices, and journeys of miles and years. Join us for a special podcast series to explore the diverse lived experiences of Indy’s immigrant community. Together, we’ll see how, rather than exchanging an old home for a new one, immigrants create a powerful idea: that home is so much more than a place.

10. Growing Community on Indy's Burmese Southside with Jully Pettijohn, Child Therapist

Jully Pettijohn, a beloved former IndyPL staff member turned child therapist, journeyed from the Chin State of Burma to Greenville, South Carolina, and finally to Indianapolis' prominent southside Burmese community. After returning to Greenville as an adult, Jully recalls the process of finding her community and what it was like to grow up under her mother's roof surrounded by the comforting chatter of family and friends, and the smell of fresh-cooked rice. Finally, she offers advice on how to learn more about cultures that are different from our own and how to decide what home means for ourselves. <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/11J77GnVfVB1rOo0AvweZJKVjzCWBRo-A/view?usp=share_link" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">View a transcript for this episode.</a> More Than a Place is a production by The Indianapolis Public Library.

8. Making An Investment In Your Community with Hiba Alalami, Arab-American Advocate

Hiba Alalami took “a leap of faith” 20 years ago with her husband to leave Jordan and start a new life in the United States. In her time living in Indianapolis, Hiba has become a pillar in the Arab American and Muslim communities. She is a mother of three, a philanthropist, and leader focused on bringing visibility to her community, including as director of the Indiana Muslim Advocacy Network. In this conversation, Hiba describes the too often forgotten contributions of Arab immigrants to Indianapolis and explains why she is pursuing a doctorate in American studies. One reason, according to Hiba: "When we learn history, it can better prepare us for the future." <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/16tEXSZw2qMk5e0LpU2A7-U9aZ7u2uifB/view?usp=share_link" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">View a transcript for this episode.</a> More Than a Place is a production by The Indianapolis Public Library.
