So my dear friend is back after living in South Korea for about 3 years and I couldn't wait to get her on my podcast because she has the most outrageously funny and charismatic personality which has always inspired me. She is Donna Sherwani aka Donna Sparrow on socials. We studied together at post grad level and then she was taken away from me by her then boyfriend and now husband. When we recorded this episode she was more than 7 months into her pregnancy. To give you a gist of her life, Donna migrated to Australia from Kurdistan with her family when she was only 12 and the journey was no less than a hellhole. She goes on to to become this fearless and strong person despite all odds and who is now a lawyer. In this episode, we talk about everything. We discuss her migration journey, we explore how interracial relationships can have a positive and a bigger impact, we delve deeper into our journeys of living in Australia and we also talk about how we can overcome cultural identity barriers and own ourselves. We do get a little bit silly at times but it was only inevitable given that I had met her after such a long time. Hope you'll enjoy listening to it.
