Selam Tegegn: The Hidden Identity Struggles of African Migrants

In this episode, I sit down with community leader and mental health clinical nurse Selam to unpack the silent mental health struggles faced by African migrants in Australia.We go beyond the buzzwords and explore identity struggles, living “African at home, Australian outside,” high-functioning depression, cultural stigma, faith vs emotional vulnerability, and the silent pressure many women face to “tick boxes” before marriage.This is an honest and necessary conversation about belonging, culture, faith, and emotional wellbeing in the African diaspora.If you’re part of the diaspora — or simply want to understand mental health more deeply — this episode is for you.Press play and join the conversation.
