33. Interviewing Hannah: Growing up Between Nigeria, London & Ohio

Send us Fan MailWe talk with our longtime friend Hannah about growing up across Nigeria, London, and Ohio, and how immigration, assimilation, and life in a big family shaped her identity and personality. Along the way, we get into sibling dynamics and favorite-child politics, the pressure to fit in during 1990s Ohio, language loss and accent shifts as survival strategies, and how Hannah’s story compares with Sumi’s reverse culture shock in Japan while navigating school exams and feelings of inadequacy. We also talk about respect culture, family titles, Nigerian and Japanese comfort foods, and those early memories of trying to fit in as immigrant kids in American schools.Thanks for listening!  Don't forget to review SisterVibes and subscribe so you won't miss our upcoming episodes and drop us a line by clicking at the top of the podcast description for future episode ideas.
