About this podcast
What if there was a safe space to ask questions? To be honest with your identity? To celebrate your culture? To address the negative stereotypes surrounding immigration?
This is the place. For the immigrant and non-immigrant alike, this podcast is for you.
We talk about the honest, the facts on the ground and reasons to celebrate culture, immigrants and the journeys we all took to get here. Whether you have that racist uncle who needs to understand or an immigrant who wants to be seen as you are, this is the podcast for you.
Be prepared to laugh, to question, to challenge and to celebrate all things people on this beautiful planet.
