Today's episode is close to my heart, because it's all about identity and belonging as an immigrant. Ayesha is Pakistani born of Turkic and Arab descent and she has lived in many places all over the world. The question 'Where are you from?' is not a simple one to answer for Ayesha and the explanation is long and interesting. I recommend listening to our full conversation, as she goes into all the details of her family history.
Ayesha is an architect but has a lot of talents and passions outside of architecture: like fashion and food. What those things mean to her and how they tie together her many identities is fascinating.
We talk meeting immigrant parents expectations, something we both relate to very well, breaking out of comfort zones and finding the place you belong and who you want to be. I love Ayesha's manifesto when she says: 'I can be more than one thing' .
What a beautiful way to enter the new year, 2021. Realising we are not set in stone, we are not trapped in the past. We can decide who we want to be, while honouring where we come from. Over and over again.
Love x
