« How Second Generation Immigrant Opens Dialogue with Parents - Nina Godiwalla »

In Chapter 7 of 14, "Suits: A Woman on Wall Street" author Nina Godiwalla finds difficulty expressing her experiences as a second-generation Parsi immigrant to her parents. Godiwalla turns to writing, where she is able to share her side of the story and, specifically, go into detail on the challenges of being both an American girl and an outsider from an immigrant family. The difficult process teaches Godiwalla about her parents own experiences and difficulties, ultimately creating an openness allowing both sides to understand the other.
