Identity, Belonging, and Role Models: Insight from The Lily-Jo Project's very own backup dancer, Moses Yaor

This week Lily-Jo caught up with one her backup dancers, Moses Yaor, just before a rehearsal. As a young black male originally from Nigeria, Moses shares with us his journey of moving to the U.K. and the challenges he experienced as a teenager in school. We talk all about coping with frequent moves and transitions, dealing with racial prejudice, and adapting to new environments. Our gems of wisdom from this episode are: 1.) having strong role models to look up to are paramount to feeling understood as a young person and 2.) joining community groups at school, sports, or church can help you find a sense of identity and belonging during tough times.   To join our brand new Eavesdrop Facebook group, you can find us here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/lilyjopresentseavesdrop/   Season 2 of Eavesdrop is kindly sponsored by MediConf: https://www.mediconf.co.uk   Check out Lily-Jo's online self help resource here: https://www.thelilyjoproject.com To book Lily-Jo for a performance or a workshop, click here: https://www.thelilyjoproject.com/bookings-lily-jo/ To book Lily-Jo for a life Coaching session, click here: https://www.thelilyjoproject.com/unstoppable-life-coaching/ For more on Lily-Jo's music visit: http://www.lilyjo.co.uk
