E18: Gulsun Demirezen on settling into a new country

Being an immigrant means we always feel we are on the clock.

We have goals we need to hit within specific time frames. And if you're African, you also have black tax playing a harmonic orchestra in your head all the time.

Gulsun Demirezen is no stranger to struggling to level up as an immigrant. We talk about the feeling of never feeling settled in a new country.

We also explore:

• Dealing with grief when you’re far away from home

• How being on a work visa can have you feeling like you’ve got a return date

• Her lessons after six years as an immigrant, and much more.

Enjoy.
