There are a ton of reasons we, as immigrants, feel compelled to work all the time.
You just spent all your savings moving to a new country
You probably took a couple of steps down the career ladder
You’ve got black tax to remit every other month.
Lola, the Afroedmontonian, is on a mission to change that. She joined me on The Newcomers Podcast to chat about:
The ‘Deadmonton Myth”
One of her most embarrassing moments during her first week in Edmonton
The abrupt end to the honeymoon phase of her immigration journey
Launching the Afroedmontonian during her maternity leave
Inspiring immigrants to let loose and enjoy themselves
Why you should move to Edmonton if you are planning to immigrate to Canada, and more.
Enjoy!
