Show Notes

What does it mean to learn a new language when your future depends on it?

In this episode, Camila Sabogal speaks with Maryann Hasso, Arab American educator and advocate for multilingual learners, about the often-overlooked realities of students navigating school systems not built with them in mind. In this conversation, we unpack the deep, often invisible labor of those learning to survive, and be seen, in a new language.

This is a story about education, yes, but also about identity, resilience, and the quiet ways young people fight to belong.
