Episode notes

In this episode of the British Asian - Other Podcast [BAO], Samah (she/her) joins me to talk about growing up in Pakistan, moving to Dubai, and landing at a UK university and what each of those places taught her about who she is. In just over half an hour, we get into the FOB accent, the obvious "international" one, the strange exposure of cooking your own food for the first time at uni, and the privilege you don't quite see until you've left it behind.
