Is being a global citizen just another buzzword going around? What exactly is a ‘third culture kid’ and how can we be one when we are no longer… kids?

On this episode, we got to sit down with gorgeous, award-winning Zimbabwean actress and host of the Zim Excellence Podcast, Vongai Shava. 

We discuss what it means when no physical place feels like home and why we continue to choose life as a global citizen in spite of the complexities it brings. Delve deeper with us as we explore this and more!

To be an African child is to know that - in your community's eye - you will never measure up. There will always be that auntie or uncle, mom or dad, cousin or distant relative who feels the need to point out how you fall short compared to your counterparts.

In this episode, we delve into the hard knock life of never living up to expectations and being compared to anyone and everyone, no matter how well you think you are doing.

Can you relate?

Being a human is hard, and what makes it more complex is the fact that we have to coexist with other humans. Add to that communication issues; misused authority; awkwardness and a host of other things, it can get down right tricky to navigate.

On this episode, we go in deep, talking about complicated relationships - small houses and toxic work environments included. Tune in and help US with your tips on navigating some of the hardly spoken about relationships we have to live with.
