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 Oyin Ajibola, who moved from Nigeria to Canada before it became very sought-after.
Oyin is a multi-hyphenate. She’s co-published a book (Courage, Change, Faith & Leadership: Inspiring Narratives of Black Women Leaders), runs an immigrant magazine (The Immigrant Muse), actively advocates for the Canadian immigrant community, and works as a Senior Operational Policy Analyst with the Government of Saskatchewan.
In this conversation, Oyin and I talk about:
Dealing with the fear of things not going as she planned after uprooting her life in Nigeria
The benefits of starting afresh where you have a community
Dealing with covert racism
Adjusting to the Canadian credit system
Her motivations for launching the Immigrant Muse, and more.
