Ginny Gong was six years old when she came to the US from China with her family in 1954.  She always struggled for balance between her dual roles as an American kid and a Chinese daughter growing up under the roof of her parents’ hand laundry business.  Ginny joins us to share her unique experience as a “one-point-five generation” immigrant.

We talk with experimental media artist Lee Boot about his latest project, “Who We Am,” an interactive website that explores the ways in which our thoughts, actions and beliefs shape our culture and influence our everyday interactions.

Plus:  a visit to the Baltimore painting studio of Iraqi-born artist Najwa Al-Amin.
