Ep 188: Rooted in Two Worlds: Maanarak of Grey on Culture Shock, Belonging, and Creativity Across Borders (Part 2)

In this continuation of our conversation, I sit down once again with the deeply creative and reflective Maanarak of Grey, an artist and podcast host originally from the island of Bonaire in the Caribbean.

In Part 2, we explore how art, storytelling, and stillness have helped her process the transitions of immigration, what it means to live between cultures, to grieve a place that still feels like home, and to reimagine belonging in unfamiliar spaces.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and remember that creativity can be both a compass and a lifeline in times of transition.

Tune in and listen to how one woman’s story holds space for many of us navigating the immigrant experience, quietly, powerfully, and on our own terms.
