MPR News’ race, class and communities team focuses on covering issues that expand the narrative of what it means to be Indigenous, working class or a person of color in Minnesota.

MPR News senior reporter Riham Feshir and editor Laura Yuen join the program and share some of their most memorable stories from 2019. They include one about how substance abuse is stigmatized in the Muslim community; another on vocal training for transgender people, and a story about a former CIA worker who helped bring the Hmong to America.
