This month on the Koukles Podcast, Patricia sits down with Stephanie Plakas for an honest and thought-provoking conversation about cultural identity, belonging, and what it really means to be part of the Greek diaspora. Stephanie opens up about navigating the in-between — not always feeling “Greek enough” or “American enough” — and how those feelings shape the way we see ourselves and our place in the community.
Together, they reflect on the pressures, expectations, and quiet moments of connection that come with growing up Greek outside of Greece, and the evolving definition of identity in today’s world. It’s a conversation rooted in self-discovery, pride, and the realization that there is no one way to “be Greek” — only your way.
