BEING FIRST GENERATION

Today I am sharing a conversation I had with my friend Cynthia. She shares the story of her parents moving to the United States from Nigeria 36 years ago and what growing up in Los Angeles was like. She was born in LA and her parents immigrated from Nigeria.

Living in a household that celebrates different traditions can be a bit tough which we learn today. Not everyone has a Santa Claus! Going out to cultural events would be the norm with her family and Cynthia gets into more of that with us on the show.

Throughout the summers growing up Cynthia was going to the library and had her head in the books while other children played with their friends. “That was tough” she explains to listeners.

From celebrating the holidays to household chores and dating. We’re getting into it today!

Welcome to the very first episode of Being First Generation. The Podcast. I’m your Host Karishma Donde.

I’m a Wellness Coach, Breathwork Facilitator, Speaker, Entrepreneur and Disruptor. And I’m here to bring you a show like you’ve never heard before.

Being First Generation Podcast was created to bring awareness to those interested in other cultures, want to have conscious cultural conversations or for those who are first gens and craving a community of like-minded individuals who have gone through similar experiences.

Expect to hear from others who come from different backgrounds and to understand what it’s like to have parents from different countries and backgrounds than them.

They’ll be sharing heartwarming stories of perceptions and expectations that come with various cultures, their celebrations, their immigrant guilt, things they appreciate, unique traditions or beliefs that were questioned as well as things they have learned.

To kick off my first solo show I talk about arranged marriages, where I am from, Bollywood movies and unique parenting methods. I also talk about the peer pressure I once felt from my community, how the word “exotic” really rubs me the wrong away!

How my past, culture and upbringing led me on the road that influenced me to start this show !
