ፐRሃ

In this episode of ፐRሃ, I explore the concept of finding purpose and why it’s okay not to have everything figured out right away. I reflect on my own journey of navigating pressure, dealing with uncertainty, and eventually finding a path that resonates with my passions.

In this episode of ፐRሃ, we dive into the complex journey of identity development. I share my personal experience as a first-generation immigrant and how navigating two different cultures shaped my perspective.
