This week on Behind the Mic, I’m joined by Anna Uche-Eme of The First Gems Podcast. We talk about her move from LA to Atlanta, her time working in Haiti, and how a tight cousin bond turned into a growing podcast brand. From public health to pop culture, Anna breaks down what it means to build something meaningful as a first-gen Nigerian-American.
