A Child’s View on Growing Up in Diaspora

In this special episode of Surviving in Diaspora, we hear from a uniquely insightful guest—my 9-year-old child—who was born in the UK while I grew up elsewhere. Listen in as we discuss what it’s like balancing two cultures under one roof: the funny moments, the sweet traditions, and even the occasional challenges. From swapping stories about favorite foods and holidays to sharing honest feelings on standing out at school, this conversation shines a light on the child’s perspective of diaspora life. Whether you’re a parent, an educator, or just curious about the dual-cultural experience, you’ll find warmth, laughter, and plenty of inspiration in this candid chat about navigating both old and new worlds. Because at the end of the day, it’s one world, many stories—and our kids have some of the best ones to tell.
