Travel Tuesday Happy Hour Podcast - Exploring the World Through the Eyes of Passionate Travelers

In this episode of Travel Tuesday Happy Hour, we join Veyoncé, also known as Veronica, as she shares her fascinating journey and experiences growing up in Kenya and the United States. As a fashion enthusiast, Veyoncé talks about the mix of cultures she was exposed to, including South Sudanese and Kenyan, and how her mom created a unique blend of languages and traditions at home. From speaking English, Arabic, and Swahili to embracing her tribal dialect, Veyoncé's upbringing was a beautiful tapestry of diverse cultures.
Moving to Erie, Pennsylvania, from Kenya was a significant cultural shift for Veyoncé and her family. Adjusting to the cold weather and experiencing the snow for the first time added an extra layer of excitement and adaptation. Despite the challenges, Veyoncé found strength in navigating the cultural differences and building a supportive community, especially through friendships with black American girls in her neighborhood.
Through her story, Veyoncé highlights the resilience and growth she experienced as a young girl, shaping her perspective on life in the United States. Join her as she reflects on her unique journey and the lessons she learned along the way.
