Episode 1: Growing up Greek American

KALO MINA and welcome to the first OFFICIAL episode! In this episode, we dive into our cultural background and identity, exploring what it means to grow up Greek American. We share our experiences attending Greek school, the challenges of balancing cultural traditions with school life (with heaps of relatable anecdotes), and the unique social dynamics within our community. We also discuss the significance of Greek Orthodox Holy Week and the impact of our heritage on our daily lives. Keep up with OPA Ora for more episodes as we continue to share our stories and connect with our listeners. Don't forget to respond to the Q&A in the comments (Spotify)!


Q&A: Do you feel your heritage was represented in your school community growing up, and how about in postsecondary educational settings if you're there yet?
