sharing the life stories of immigrants, expatriates, and refugees to the United States
Alan shares a well-known riddle about skunks.
Q: How do you keep a skunk from smelling?
A. Hold its nose.
What's So Funny?
There is a double meaning here. The skunk has a strong odor, so we say it smells (bad). The other meaning is what the skunk does with his nose: it smells (things in the world around it).
Feel Like You Belong is a sometimes serious, sometimes funny, always “touch-your-heart” real conversation about fitting into the American culture. It introduces guests who have made the immigrant journey to the United States. The stories–of both struggle and success–will help newcomers feel more confident in sharing their opinions and expertise, more likely to want to stay in the U.S., be more productive in their jobs, and fully invest in their communities.
