Trick or Treat Your Ears This Halloween
Dear Hyphenly Readers,
Happy Halloween! We hope you have a wonderful weekend full of spooky vibes, candy overload, and trick or treating. Today we’re catching you up with what’s been happening with our Immigrantly Media team!
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. This is especially true for this week’s episode at Immigrantly where host Saadia discusses language that strips immigrants of their humanity.
Over at Sportly, host Kavitha speaks to a lifelong Canadian baseball fan Zach Vanasse about the Toronto Blue Jays.
Ever been curious about the exclusive dating app Raya? Love-ly’s host Mehak is sharing her experience with the app, and opens up about being in her “in-between era,” a space where she’s rediscovering herself.
IMMIGRANTLY
In this short, but powerful solo episode of Immigrantly, host Saadia Khan shares why she is angry and why she is paying close attention to the words we use around immigration. Prompted by a recent ProPublica investigation by journalist Hannah Allam, Saadia explores how government agencies like ICE use terms like “removable,” “alien,” and “target” to strip immigrants of their humanity.
You can connect with Saadia on X @swkkhan or email her at [email protected] to share your thoughts about the episode. Find her at a community discussion with filmmaker Mohan Sivaloganathan and author Christopher Rivas for a special In Pursuit Of virtual screening and conversation on Monday, Nov 3 @ 1PM ET / 10AM PT.
SPORTLY
For the first time in 32 years, the Toronto Blue Jays are back in the World Series, and all of Canada is rallying behind them. In this episode of Sportly, host Kavitha Davidson dives into how the Blue Jays rekindled Canada’s love for baseball, from George Springer’s unforgettable homer to Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s storybook rise with guest Zach Vanasse, a lifelong Canadian baseball fan and former Expos devotee.
You can reach the host, Kavitha, at [email protected]
LOVE-LY
In this week's episode, Mehak opens up about being in her “in-between era,” a space where she’s rediscovering herself. After a recent breakup, she reflects on emotional maturity, intuition, and the lessons that come with letting go. From unlearning survival habits to recognizing relationship patterns, Mehak shares what it means to stop romanticizing potential and start honoring her inner voice. She also gets candid about reentering the dating world — including her experience on the exclusive app Raya — and the performative side of modern dating.
