놀라운 미국 이민 이야기| The One with T Dawg & Mo! - On Our Incredible US Immigration Story: Episode 32 (2021)

My husband and I have been in the United States for about ten years. The stories that led up to us finally getting our green cards are incredible and hard to believe. But these things do happen to people, and we don't hear about them enough.

We decided to share these stories in this episode to encourage anyone going through similar experiences, and for those who have been through it, I hope you can relate and realize you are not alone.

Tdawg and I shared our immigration stories in this episode to highlight what it takes and what it means to travel outside of Nigeria to other countries, particularly the United States.

This conversation is our real story; listen here for all of it.

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: The One with Enyeribe Ibegwam – On Identity, Becoming a Writer, & Other Stories

How would you define the word "brother?" Well, after listening to this episode, you will discover that your brothers or sisters are not just those with whom you share blood relationship, but also those with whom you share solidarity.

My guest today is Enyeribe Ibegwam. He was brought up in Lagos, Nigeria but now resides in the US. A writer, he has been awarded a PEN/Robert J. Dau Short Story Prize and was a finalist for the Commonwealth Short Story Prize. He is a recipient of several grants, and his story has been published in the PEN America Best Debut Stories 2019. He's also a Truman Capote Fellow at the Iowa Writers' Workshop.

As a young man in the US, he initially felt uneasy being called "brother" by strangers because he was Black, but it was only a matter of time before he too became a "brother" to other brothers.

In this episode, Enyeribe walks down memory lane to his childhood experiences; we talk about Africans' duty to African-Americans and go behind-the-scenes of his literary work. Kindly do yourself a favor by visiting here to read more of Enyeribe's stories.

Best,

Mo!
