Ethiopia to Minnesota, and why an umbrella won't cut it 4d594

In this episode, Rabya Hassen and I chat about her move from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to Minneapolis, Minnesota in the US. She speaks about the difficulty of adapting to the weather, her first experiences with US racism, creating a chosen family and the complications of going back "home". We both muse over the concept of a culture of instant gratification and how it can breed anxiety, and how sometimes convenience goes too far. 6i2a3w
