One woman’s tale of love in two cultures

The World

Stories From The Stage are about ordinary people with extraordinary experiences. In partnership with WGBH’s TV World Channel, today’s storyteller is Nimisha Ladva. She’s a professor, originally from Kenya and the UK, who now lives and works in the US. Ladva’s story is about how she dates outside her Indian culture and against her parents’ wishes.
