Ep #14 A Place for Us: A Conversation on Belonging


Listen Later

In this episode of the Migrant Meets Podcast, core members from We Belong—Jaya, Milana, Hilary, and Abdullahi—dive into an engaging discussion on Fatima Farheen Mirza’s debut novel, 'A Place for Us.' 

The conversation explores the novel's themes of home, belonging, and the migrant experience, drawing parallels between the book and the real-life challenges migrants face in the UK. 

Key topics include generational conflicts, cultural identity, and the emotional complexities of immigration. The episode also touches on the impact of events like last summer’s far-right protests on the migrant community and the personal experiences of young migrants adapting to life in the UK. The podcast encourages listeners to reflect on the idea of home and share their stories to foster a supportive community.
