Show Notes

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

In this episode of Echoes of Meaning, 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.
