Ep 27: The People We Call Home
Show Notes
Yolanda Reshemah, host of The Places We Call Home podcast, shares her journey from St. Vincent and the Grenadines through England and France to the U.S., reflecting on what it really means to build a life across cultures.
She unpacks why home was never just one place, and why belonging isn't a luxury but the support system that helps immigrants withstand the practical, emotional, and systemic barriers of rebuilding abroad. She also discusses maintaining your identity, resisting the pressure to mute your culture or accent, and building the kind of community that helps you find your people and thrive.
