<description>In this, our 50th episode, the Triple Vision team engages listeners in a fascinating discussion on aspects of Canadian identity that we don't always think about. We speak with Sheyfali Saujani who, at the time of our interview, was completing her PhD based on her Personal experiences with multiculturalism, her life as a racialized immigrant, and a former CBC journalist. She also happens to be an individual with partial vision. Sheyfali guides us through these various intersectionalities towards the question of what being Canadian means, both for her, and all of us.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;q&gt;The issues that I faced often had to do with my race or the colour of my skin. People look at me, they see a person who is racialized as brown and they immediately think, 'oh, where are you from? Are you from India?' And then you get into this longer history because my family historically migrated from India to East Africa. We were then expelled from Africa in 1972 from the Ugandan dictator Idi amin, and found refuge in Canada.&lt;/q&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
