She left London for Korea with two goals - teach English and dance.

The teaching worked. The dancing didn't. Visa rules meant every opportunity to perform had to be turned down, one by one.

Samira is a Somalian Muslim woman from London who built a life in Korea and found herself navigating faith, identity and the gap between the dream and the reality - all at the same time.

In this episode we talk about:

• Life as an ethnic minority in Korea
• Navigating faith as a Muslim woman abroad
• Teaching English in Korea and what nobody tells you before you go
• How visa restrictions killed her dancing opportunities in Korea
• Working with global music artists
• What home actually means when you've built a life somewhere that was never meant to be permanent

This conversation goes deep on what it actually means to chase your passion in a country that wasn't built for you.
