How many of us have had the awkward experience of going “home?” Back to the countries our parents left, where we should really fit in, but don’t totally.

On this episode of the First Gen Realness podcast, I’ll tell you about the first solo trips I took to the Gambia and Puerto Rico and just how awkward it was for me to navigate cultural and linguistic barriers. I hope you enjoy it!

What does it mean to be a first-generation American? How American am I? How can you connect to your parent’s culture? How can you show up in life as your authentic, multi-faceted self? 
 Welcome to the First-Gen Realness podcast hosted by Anna N’Jie-Konte where we dive deep into the first-generation American experience. Every 2 weeks, you can look forward to a new episode exploring the experiences of first-generation Americans. Those of us navigating multiple cultures, languages, exploring our identities and eating really amazing food. We will profile amazing, trailblazing first-generation Americans who unapologetically own their identity as both Americans and “something else.” 
 The goal is to build bridges, connections, and for each and every one of us first-generation Americans to hold our heads a little bit higher. Thanks so much for joining!
