E03: Ukwori Ejibe on parenting, job hunting, and launching an immigration consultancy business

Ukwori Ejibe is the founder of Numa Immigration, a Canadian immigration consultancy. And she joins me to chat about the first night feels, job hunting, managing the kids without help, and more.

Hello, I'd really like to grow this email list. If you enjoy this newsletter, it would mean the world to Jola and I if you encouraged one friend/fellow immigrant/colleague to subscribe…Very likely, the the only thing you will get in return is warm fuzzy feelings, and if I can attribute it to you, I’d personally send you a thank you email.

Join us as we explore the bitter-sweet world of the immigrant.

In this episode, I'm speaking with Ukwori Ejibe, the founder of Numa Immigration, who moved from Nigeria to Canada.

How do you keep a piece of home with you when moving to a new country? For Ukwori, it meant shipping her favorite Aso oke woven chair to her new home in Calgary. Surviving as an immigrant in Canada requires looking for hope in familiar things, and it comes in many ways.

These and more are what Ukwori and I chat about, including:

  • Raising kids in Canada

  • Job hunting and her way around the “Canadian Experience”

  • Launching her immigration consultancy business, Numa Immigration & Citizenship Services

  • The first night feels, and more!
