Two Nations in One with Hannah Mugerwa

Have you ever had your food looked at and immediately judged? Well this episode is for you. I share stories of how I navigated those moments especially as someone who created attachment to the place this happened in. Belonging is a big theme in my episodes if you haven’t noticed😅. I also include a few reflections and lessons I learn’t along the way. It’s not much but i hope you enjoy. A little message to everybody: accept every kind of food with kind curiosity. Stay blessed

How many of you have had your names mispronounced?
Well, you’re not alone—I’ve been a victim too. In this episode, I reflect on how my name has been mispronounced and how that shaped my sense of belonging in my home country, Malawi.  
If you’re someone like me who’s experienced something similar, or you’re just curious to hear more about my world, give this episode a listen.

In this episode, I unpack the layers behind my accent—how it formed, what it says about me, and how it's shaped the way I see myself. From learning Luganda and being laughed at by family, to being told I didn’t “sound Malawian enough” by friends, I share personal stories of how my voice has both revealed and challenged my sense of identity. I reflect on how accents are more than just sound—they’re memory, migration, and meaning. 

Listener question: What situations has your accent put you in?

Welcome to Two Nations in One, a podcast exploring what it means to grow up caught between cultures. I’m Hannah Mugerwa—born to Ugandan parents, raised in Malawi—and for most of my life, I’ve been navigating what it means to belong somewhere, and yet feel like a foreigner everywhere.  

From the pressure to blend in, to the stares when I speak, this podcast is a space for honest stories, awkward moments, and the quiet power of claiming your identity. Even when it’s complicated.  

New episodes drop every Friday. I hope you stick around.☺️
