Inclusive Beauty, Sports Bars, and Wild Dating Stories: Immigrantly This Week
Dear Hyphenly Readers,
While most of today's media caters to the audience's needs, few bear witness to the everyday extraordinariness of immigrant life, like love, food, faith, friendship, and creativity.
Today, we’re catching you up with what’s been happening at all the podcasts that make up Immigrantly Media. This week Saadia spoke to Kulfi Beauty’s founder Priyanka Ganjoo for Immigrantly, Sportly’s host Kavitha took us inside America’s beloved sports bars, and Mehak sat down with TikTok’s “Dumb Blonde Diary” Lara Simonot to share wild dating stories for Lovely.

From her journey at Estée Lauder and Ipsy to building a South Asian-centered brand that thrives at Sephora and beyond, Priyanka shares how she turned personal exclusion into a global mission for inclusivity and joy.

From Palermo’s to The Sports Bra: Inside the Evolution of the American Sports Bar
Listen on Spotify and Apple
What do beer-soaked bleachers, immigrant taverns, and feminist bar owners have in common? They all shaped the modern American sports bar. From Palermo’s Tavern in St. Louis, often recognized as America’s first sports bar, to The Sports Bra in Portland, the first bar dedicated entirely to women’s sports, this episode traces how these spaces became America’s unofficial living rooms. Host Kavitha Davidson explores how bars once built for men evolved into inclusive hubs that celebrate women’s, immigrant, and queer sports culture.
