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.
In this episode, I'm speaking with Chika Offiah, a Senior Business Systems Analyst who moved from Nigeria to Canada.
Chika Offiah's prior experiences in the US and UK for nearly 4 years provided a head start in understanding Western culture and parenting styles before moving to Canada. I learnt a lot about topics like the Western education system and balancing work and family responsibilities in Canada. Assured, upbeat, and cheery, chatting with Chika Offiah was a dose of fresh air.
In the conversation, Chika and I also chat about:
Not missing Nigerian food 🫡
Taking advantage of immigration platforms, organizations, and YouTube videos to ease her and the family’s settling down into their new home in Calgary, Canada
Cultural systems and how they affect our approach to parenting
Building confidence as an immigrant, and more.
