To cap off a very (surprisingly and satisfyingly) successful First Season, Audrey got the gang together to reflect on life during COVID, its impact & life moving forward. Listen, enjoy & laugh along as Audrey, Jaclyn (@ferjelette) & Lalie (@lalie_muchira) discuss

>> all the chaos of lockdowns that are not quite lockdowns;

>> border restrictions which don’t seem to apply to the rich;

>> adjusting to the new normal & not knowing just how to plan for the future; and

>> some crazy & wild things that have happened since the pandemic started!

Here is hoping 2022 proves to be a little better!

Side note (icymi): I am taking a little break & will be back with more soon so watch this space!

In this episode, we bring you a conversation recorded in the blissful times before COVID (i.e. 2020). Audrey got the gang together to celebrate a new decade & express some hopes and wishes for 2020 and the future. Little did they know this was the calm before the storm! 

Listen & enjoy as Audrey, Hopeful (@shadesofh0pe), Jaclyn (@ferjelette) & Janeille (@janeille_rigs) offer their two cents about the Covid free times & what they had hoped to experience in 2020 (if only those dreams had become a reality).

For this episode Audrey brings another migrant to the table to continue with part 4 of the series of conversations with fellow migrants, this time focusing on the perspective Audrey understands best - that of the Migrant Child. While it is possibly the best way to migrate as there are less hustles, it also brings its own set of challenges.

Audrey was joined by Janeille (@janeille_rigs) to discuss

>> the challenges of trying to fit into a new cultural landscape;

>> feeling like an outsider even in your home country;

>> parental pressure to succeed & surpass the success of your migrant parents;

>> dealing with being surrogate parents for the siblings (here is to all my 1st borns);

And a lot more!

For this episode Audrey continues with part 3 of the series of conversations with fellow migrants - this time with a young Zimbabwean migrant who took the leap to seek greener pastures in the land down under. While some migrants are blessed to migrate at a young age with family others make make the journey later in life and have to start from scratch to get established.

Audrey was joined by Tatenda (@tatendajohn) to discuss 

>>How one makes the decision to seek greener pastures and the challenges that come with making the move when you are leaving behind family, a career or assets

>> The challenges of trying to be establish yourself within a new country/system when you are starting at a different point to most citizens who have grown up within that system

>> How one deals with the ties that bind us as migrants to our home countries

And a lot more!

For this episode I continue with part 2 of my series of conversations with fellow migrants - this time with a Zimbabwean migrant living in South Africa. Most Zimbabweans have made the journey to our neighbouring country and are hustling away to make ends meet. However, migrants still face many challenges even when migrating to countries within the continent (discrimination, exclusion, xenophobia).

>> Dealing with the ties that bind us as migrants to our home countries

>>And the challenges of trying to fit into a society that loves to remind you of your “otherness”
