In this intimate episode of Sh(e)it You Should Know, hosts Fawn and Lindsay delve into the complex topic of immigration, featuring guest Anisa, an Albanian living and working in London.

Anisa shares her personal experiences growing up in communist Albania, describing it as a "modern-day North Korea" with strict controls on every aspect of life. She recounts the dramatic changes that occurred after the fall of communism in 1991 and her journey to Switzerland and eventually London through a scholarship opportunity.

The conversation explores the challenges Anisa faced, including discrimination and culture shock. She highlights the absence of a support network and the difficulty of adapting to a new world while struggling financially. She also discusses her work with displaced communities globally, and their overwhelming desire to contribute to their new societies.

In the face of increasing politicisation around immigration, this episode puts a face to the countless individuals striving to build a better life far from home.
