The Dark Side of Immigrating with Mario Cerda Cornejo

"My British dream became a nightmare."

Immigrating to a new country is a chance to start again.

A chance to aim for a better life. But we don’t talk enough about the dark side of starting afresh.

The struggle to find a job. The self-doubt. The depression. The mental exhaustion that comes from code-switching.

Grateful to Mario Cerda Cornejo for sharing this deeply personal story with us.

“Enthusiasm is common. Endurance is rare.”

Angela Duckworth.
