Description
Africa’s young diaspora - born and raised in Europe, the United States and Canada - are increasingly choosing to move to the countries their parents once left. https://youtu.be/9Y81evPIIGE
On the Focus on Africa podcast, host Charles Gitonga speaks to Maryam Abdishakuur, who grew up in Denmark and moved back to her native Somalia in her twenties, and Danielle Wanjiku Natche, who was raised in the United States and relocated to Kenya - her mother’s homeland-in 2019.
They share their experiences and the challenges of returning home - navigating identity, expectations and the realities on the ground. Have you made a similar move? Share your experience with us.
