What’s Happening at Immigrantly Media

July 11, 2025 • Read in 4 minutes

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. We look into the history of birthright citizenship, the traditions of Wimbledon, and how to shoot your shot while being the best version of yourself. Banterly has switched to a biweekly schedule, so look out for the latest episode next week!

Who Gets to be American? A History of Birthright Citizenship on Trial

In this riveting episode of Immigrantly, host Saadia Khan takes us on a powerful journey from the landmark 1898 Supreme Court case of Wong Kim Ark to Donald Trump’s 2025 executive order attempting to end birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants. Through historical context, legal nuance, and racial reckoning, Saadia explores the fragility of the 14th Amendment and what’s at stake for immigrant families today.

You can connect with Saadia on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@swkkhan or email her at [email protected] to share your thoughts about the episode.

Strawberries, Sneakers & Scandals: The Traditions That Define Wimbledon

Why does Wimbledon still require all-white outfits? Why do fans queue overnight just for a chance to buy tickets? And what do strawberries and cream have to do with elite tennis? In this episode of Sportly, host Kavitha Davidson serves up the fascinating traditions that make Wimbledon unlike any other Grand Slam. From Roger Federer’s orange soles to Serena Williams’ red shorts, this episode dives into the dress code controversies, the history of strawberries, and the passion behind the iconic Wimbledon queue.

Confessions, Confidence & Cringe Dates: A No Filter Chat with Uzi

Mehak sits down with the unapologetically charming Uzi for a wildly entertaining, refreshingly honest conversation about dating in the age of ghosting, rejection, and situationships. From chasing strangers by the waterfront to getting called out mid-flirt for shady texts, Uzi shares his unfiltered takes on confidence, emotional availability, and why being a “nice guy” sometimes backfires.
