Immigrant Identity, Unpacked

Carrying the weight of two countries.

The Renew Democracy Initiative and The Next Move are excited to bring you Older/Wiser with Linda Chavez. Linda is a veteran of multiple presidential administrations, author, and columnist.

How do immigrants and their children reconcile ties with their homelands and commitment to the United States? RDI CEO Uriel Epshtein joins Linda to discuss his own journey as a first-generation American and the son of Soviet immigrants—and contrasts that story against the controversy surrounding US athlete Eileen Gu’s decision to compete for the Chinese Olympic team.
