Join Saadia Khan on Immigrantly, the award-winning podcast that dives deep into immigrant narratives and the messy beauty of identity, race, and belonging in America today. Each week, Saadia, a human rights activist, social entrepreneur, and proud cat mom, hosts unfiltered conversations with diverse voices: artists, academics, cultural disruptors, and everyday people with extraordinary cultural stories.
At Immigrantly, we go beyond surface-level diversity to explore how culture, immigration, and inclusion shape real lives. We believe identity is powerful, but when unchecked, it can become an ego trap. That’s why every episode unpacks the nuance, humor, and contradictions of what it means to belong.
Inclusive storytelling. Immigrant perspectives. Real talk—never flattened.

What happens when an engineer trades equations for macaroni? Immigrantly host Saadia Khan sits down with Sarita Ekya, co-founder of S’MAC, the iconic East Village spot that turned mac & cheese into a cultural phenomenon. In this episode, Sarita shares her experiences growing up as an immigrant kid in Canada, taking a leap of faith in New York City, and how comfort food became her canvas for creativity and community. From winning Food Network’s Chopped to running a community fridge during the pandemic, she proves that food is never just about eating—it’s about identity, belonging, and a whole lot of fun.
