info_outlineIn Part 2 of my conversation with Kerry-Ann Reid-Brown on The Carry On Friends Podcast, we go even deeper.
I share how navigating the immigrant journey as an immigrant woman has reshaped my understanding of identity, resilience, and power.
We talk about the tension between assimilation and authenticity, and what it really means to create belonging without betraying yourself.
This episode is for anyone who’s had to shrink to survive, but is ready to grow, take up space, and lead with clarity and courage.
If you’ve ever questioned your belonging, struggled with cultural boundaries, or wanted to step more fully into your voice, this one is for you.
Tune in and let’s continue the conversation. 🌍💬
