In the first episode Halfway to Home, Aman Ghawanmeh speaks to Parimal Parikh, who opened Namaste Indian Supermarket two years ago, and Manal Sandy, a PhD candidate, pharmacy assistant and mom to four who arrived in 2018 as a refugee from Syria. During a conversation at Windsor Public Library’s Central Branch, they speak about how they’ve struggled and sometimes embraced their own senses of identity as newcomers to Canada.
