In this episode, we hear the stories of two New Yorkers from Bangladesh who have devoted much of their life’s work to preserving and nourishing the Bangla language among the Bengali community in Queens.
The first story is about Naznin Seamon, a poet and teacher. In addition to writing poetry in Bangla and English, Naznin is a proud Bangladeshi and teaches her students not only about the Bangla language but also about the history, traditions, and culture.
In the second segment, we’ll hear from Hasan Ferdous, a journalist and retired UN official, who tells us about the origins of the boimela, or Bengali book fair, in Queens, and what the Bangla language has meant to his own life.
This episode is also available in Bangla. You can find it in our podcast feed.
