Jasmine and Gabbie are best friends. BFFs! But there’s something major that they’ve never been able to talk about. Something so important that it makes them wonder, who does this person even think I am? (23 minutes)

Jasmine first interviewed Gabbie for her podcast with NPR and Futuro Studios. It's called The Last Cup / La ultima copa, and it tells the story of Leo Messi: his journey to stardom, his World Cup victory after many attempts with his home country, and what his story says about immigrants everywhere.

By Jasmine Garsd; Produced by Nadia Reiman

Song:

“Say It Now” by Hannah Jadagu
