Embracing The power of your Cultural Identity as an Expat: the Elevate Podcast



Recently, I had the incredible opportunity to be a guest on the thought-provoking podcast "Elevate," hosted by the talented Jessica Halon ♥️. In the 18th episode, we delved deep into a subject that holds significant importance to me—leveraging your cultural identity as a strength during the migration journey, specifically in Sweden. It was an enlightening and empowering conversation, and I couldn't have asked for a better platform to share my insights and experiences. In this blog post, I want to reflect on my episode podcast, and the invaluable discussion we had.
