Description

In this week's episode, I have Igxtelle Mbah Acha Dopgima joining me. 

Igxtelle was born and raised in Cameroon, and eventually immigrated to the US. She is an international speaker and counselor, helping Immigrants and Multinationals find their authentic self. She is the founder of The Immigrant Mom, a non-profit organization founded in the United States supporting mothers and women who are parenting in a new country, different from the country and culture of their upbringing. The Immigrant Mom has the vision to empower every immigrant/multinational woman with the tools necessary for an overall better parenting experience as well as improve her integration and resettlement in the country of her residence. Its mission is to Equip, Empower and Educate the Immigrant Mom through programs, projects, and information sharing.
