E12: Folasade Daini on missing Naija food and settling into Canada with a toddler

Veterinarian turned content marketer, Folasade Daini joins me on The Newcomers Podcast to talk about moving from Lagos, Nigeria to Brampton, Canada.

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 Folasade Daini, a vlogger, content strategist, and agency owner.

Folasade is a former veterinarian turned brand storyteller and is one of the most authentic and enigmatic personalities I have interviewed on this pod. We talk about the processes of immigration, differences in policing culture in Canada, the tax system, and raising a toddler in a new country.

In this conversation, Folasade and I chat about:

  • The tax system

  • Missing her siblings and Naija food

  • The different phases of settling into a new country

  • Cultural differences that an immigrant has to adjust to

  • Her sweet daughter

  • And the one thing she would have done differently.
