This is a big one!
My guest on the fourth episode of All My Friends Are Immigrants is a former colleague and current friend, Nakita Austin.
Nakita was born in New York to immigrant parents, one from Haiti and the other from the Philippines. From there, she moved to the South of the US, a move that could be considered immigration for the stark difference in cultures alone, and eventually made her way to her current home in London, UK.
I talked to Nakita about her experiences in both worlds as a Black woman and child of immigrants, how this affects her at work and in her travels, and the life she plans to give to her daughter.
Before our conversation, I spend a bit of time talking about my own immigration experience, procedurally and remind everyone that the upcoming US election is, in many ways, important to the millions of immigrants who call the country their home, along with their families who feel like they are a world away.
