| A World Without Borders with Nance Musinguzi | 03 Aug 2022 | 00:46:32 | |
Have you ever wondered what a borderless world could look like? Well, we were able to imagine that world in this week's episode thanks to our guest of the week! In this week's interview, Nance talks about their experience being a first-generation Ugandan/Liberian, trans/non-binary American immigrant living in the USA. We talked about their work as an artist, where to get their book (The Letter Formally Known as Q Voices from Minnesota's Queer Immigrant Community), and the challenges of being first gen, black, queer, and trans in today's world. I love that Nance reminded us of the importance of community, of finding our people, our home (away from home), and how belonging is in fact possible.

| Finance For Immigrants and How to Build Wealth with Tess Zigo | 29 Mar 2023 | 00:39:42 | |
Nobody really prepares you for how different and complicated dealing with money as an immigrant will be! I had the amazing opportunity to talk to Tess, she is a financial advisor and an immigrant. Tess moved to the USA when she was a teenager after graduating from high school in Bulgaria. She also lived in Africa with her family before coming to the states. Tess grew up in a family where talking about money was not taboo and this inspired her later in life to help others manage their finances and build wealth. In this episode we talked about some easy steps we can all take to start building wealth, we discussed the basics of how to build an emergency fund and how credit cards work, differently from what we learned in other countries! Tess offers consultations and can help you if you need assistance with your money. Check out her website https://www.truwealthy.com/

| Cómo Ayudar a Los Refugiados e Inmigrantes Venezolanos? Con Humanitarian Action. | 30 Mar 2022 | 00:56:31 | |
Episodio Especial - Ayuda a refugiados e inmigrantes Venezolanos! No hay forma de que este episodio no me conmueva y no me haga sentir dolor y a la vez orgullo por el país de donde vengo. Es una mezcla de sentimientos que sé que muchos de ustedes comparten! Tuve el honor de conocer un poco más sobre una fundación que admiro y respeto muchísimo. Humanitarian Action es una non profit que se dedica a ayudar a Venezolanos dentro y fuera del país. En el episodio hablé con una de sus co fundadoras, Marisela y con una de sus voluntarias Ana Gabriela. Las dos nos ayudan a entender cómo su propio camino de inmigración las ha motivado a ayudar a otros inmigrantes. Conversamos sobre los retos que los inmigrantes y refugiados enfrentan en las fronteras, formas en las que todos podemos colaborar, la importancia de la hermandad entre todos los latinoamericanos para apoyarnos y sobre un viaje que estarán haciendo en Abril para ayudar a los inmigrantes en la frontera con Arizona!
