Each week, Saadia, a human rights activist, social entrepreneur, and proud cat mom, hosts unfiltered conversations with diverse voices: artists, academics, cultural disruptors, and everyday people with extraordinary cultural stories. At Immigrantly, we go beyond surface-level diversity to explore how culture, immigration, and inclusion shape real lives. We believe identity is powerful, but when unchecked, it can become an ego trap. That’s why every episode unpacks the nuance, humor, and contradictions of what it means to belong. Inclusive storytelling. Immigrant perspectives. Real talk—never flattened. To join this fun, thoughtful, and inclusive community, subscribe!

Chuck Park did exactly that. A son of Korean immigrants who sold T-shirts on Canal Street, he rose to become a U.S. diplomat, then resigned in 2019 after the El Paso mass shooting and published his letter in The Washington Post. Now he's running a 100% grassroots campaign for Congress in New York's 6th District — Queens against a seven-term incumbent. No corporate PACs. No AIPAC money. No focus-grouped talking points. In this conversation, Saadia sits down with Chuck Park to talk about what it means to run as a true outsider: abolishing ICE (and why that's not the same as open borders), calling Gaza a genocide out loud, the Working Families Party's closed-door betrayal, and why dumplings might be the most radical political tool in Queens right now. They also get into the MSG myth, the difference between progressivism and leftism, and what Chuck says he'll do if he loses, spoiler: deep clean the bathroom first. If you've been waiting for a politician who sounds like an actual human being, this one's for you.
