In the midst of the social and political upheavals of 2020, Lara Vanian-Green, the host of the podcast Armenian Enough, reached out to me. Her podcast focuses on amplifying voices that often go unheard within the Armenian community. At the time, the Black Lives Matter movement was gaining momentum, and Lara and her audience were interested in learning more about the experiences of Black Armenians. In our conversation, we spoke of identity and belonging, exploring what it means to feel “Armenian enough” and how multiple identities intersect and inform our perspectives. I am grateful for the opportunity to share my story with Lara and her listeners, and I encourage anyone interested in hearing from a diverse range of Armenian voices to check out her podcast, support more thought-provoking discussions, and click here to hear more from me too!
