Your story belongs on this mic…
Unapologetically First Gen is a space for real, unfiltered conversations about what it means to grow up between two worlds. We're always looking for voices that haven't been heard enough - and yours might be one of them.
Who we're looking for
First-generation immigrants sharing their lived experience
Children of immigrants navigating identity, culture, and belonging
Professionals and advocates working in or for first-gen communities
What to expect
Fill out the form below. Tell us a little about yourself and your story. It only takes a few minutes.
We review and reach out. Lesley & Stacy personally review every submission. If you're a great fit for the show, you'll hear from us — we'll only reach out when we think it's a match.
A quick pre-interview chat. Before we hit record, we get to know each other. Think of it as coffee with the sisters — low-key, no pressure.
Record your episode. Show up as yourself. The conversation is warm, honest, and guided; you just bring your story.
A little thank-you from us. Every guest who joins us on the show receives an Unapologetically First Gen mug,
a small token of our big gratitude.
Not hearing back doesn't mean your story doesn't matter — it just means the timing wasn't right.
We read every single submission.
