 💑 Our Gratitude Story: Gratitude isn't just a lifehack; it's a way of life for us. Since the day Carol and I met, we've made it a ritual to sit down, often in the quiet hours of the morning, and marvel at the blessings the Lord has showered upon us. 🌅

Ideed, we are our ancestors' and younger selfs' wildest dreams! Who would have though, dared to imagine we would be where we are today?

🎙️🌍 Hello good people! Get set for an insightful exploration in our upcoming episode on Far From Home Diaspora Conversations Podcast! 🤔🌐

A few weeks ago, we had a wonderful guest who got us thinking about the significance of embracing the place you call home! 🏠✨ Carol and I, your dedicated hosts, have both been immersed in life in Germany for over a decade – work, family, and all that comes with it! 🇩🇪💼

However, here's the interesting part – despite our lives being completely centered in Germany, we're yet to obtain German citizenship! Furthermore, none of us intends to leave the country in the near future 🇩🇪 What's holding us back? Is it pride, loyalty, or perhaps just a fear of change? 😅🤯

Join us as we share our reflections and uncertainties. Is it solely about national identity, or are there underlying fears at play? 🤔🌈

Additionally, we'll delve into the practical consequences – visas, financial considerations, the whole nine yards! It's a journey filled with emotions, laughter, and maybe a few forehead slaps. 😂🎢

🎙️ Hey there, amazing listeners! 🌍✨ Ever came across the term "black tax"? 🤔 Well, for those of us navigating life in the diaspora, it's a familiar phenomenon with a multitude of meanings. 
🌈 Today, we're diving into a well-known aspect many diasporans can relate to – sending money back home. 💸 Why "black tax," you ask? Because, let's face it, we're already paying taxes in our adopted countries, and then there's the extra mile of supporting extended family back home. Double duty, anyone? 🌐💪🏾

In this episode, we're not just talking finances, folks! We're delving into the emotional and, for some, even spiritual toll that comes with it. 😓💔 Join us as we share the lessons we've gathered over the years in the diaspora and why self-care has become an absolute lifeline for us. 💆🏾‍♀️💃🏾🧘🏾‍♀️🌟

You've probably seen her somewhere, helping students who come here to study or connecting major universities here with those in Kenya. She's a mother, a businesswoman, a woman of faith, and so much more. But did you know that Carol Mwangi came to Germany as an au pair and decided to return home when things didn't work out here? She did, and in Nairobi, she ventured into the hotel and service industry. But that was just the beginning. She started baking German bread, selling sandwiches, and became highly successful. Then, she decided to come back to Germany. A decision that wasn't so easy for her to make. Find out more in this conversation 🌍 #LifeJourney #SuccessStory

🎙 Hallo dear podcasters. Our latest podcast episode dropping in this Wednesday is a game-changer! This week, we're thrilled to introduce our first-ever male guest. 🎉 The conversation was an absolute eye-opener, unlike anything we've had before. 🗣

First off, our guest, Lennart, had a better grasp of Kiswahili than Carol and me, despite us both being born and raised in Kenya! 🇰🇪 But here's the kicker—Kenya, his diaspora, is what we call home. 🏠 It was fascinating to find that the feeling of being far from home was something we nevertheless had in common. 😮 We talked about culture shock, homesickness, and the universal need for belonging. It was a real "aha" moment! ✨

And hold on tight, because we delved into a topic that truly surprised me—Malaria vaccines and the unexpected harm they can cause. 😱
 Thank you so much for the love you've continued to show us. We really appreciate you 💚🩵💙🖤🤎🤍
