More on: Immigration experience

The podcast episodes discussed explore the immigration experience from the perspectives of two individuals - Nezhwa Zabian, who immigrated from Lebanon to Canada as a teenager, and Lovey and Tiffany, who are children of Nigerian immigrants.

Nezhwa's episode 'Creating a Healthy Relationship (with Yourself) with Najwa Zebian' discusses her journey of discovering her authentic self and finding a balance between intimacy and autonomy after feeling displaced as an immigrant.

Lovey and Tiffany's episode ''Where We Come From': By Any Other Name' explores their experiences of adapting their Nigerian names to be more 'American' as children, and later reclaiming their full names as a source of cultural pride and connection to their heritage.
