🇵🇷 What does it mean to be Puerto Rican in Australia when there are barely any Puerto Ricans here?
In this deeply personal conversation, I’m joined by my friend *Yadi,* an anthropologist and fellow Puerto Rican living in Australia, to talk about diaspora, identity, displacement, and keeping culture alive far from home.
With *Bad Bunny* bringing his sold-out global tour to Australia, we felt called to have this conversation, not just about music, but about culture, belonging, and what it means to carry your roots when your environment doesn’t reflect them.
This episode is for immigrants, first-generation kids, third-culture humans, and anyone who has ever missed home while building a life somewhere new.
🔥 WHAT WE TALK ABOUT:• Being Puerto Rican in a country that doesn’t understand Puerto Rico
• Living in diaspora and navigating cultural grief
• Anthropology, culture, and identity beyond borders
• Reclaiming traditions our ancestors passed down
• Raising culturally connected children abroad
• Finding community when your people are rare
• Why representation and music matter so deeply
