Presenting 'Code Switch': Kat Chow's 'Seeing Ghosts'

In this episode from our friends at NPR's <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/">Code Switch</a> podcast, <a href="https://twitter.com/katchow">Kat Chow</a> chats with former host <a href="https://twitter.com/RadioMirage">Shereen Marisol Meraji</a> about her memoir, Seeing Ghosts. After her mother died when Chow was 13, her family rarely discussed how to handle their loss. Chow says she wrote this memoir as a way to talk with her mother about that grief, her navigation of identity and her family's history.
