Episode 1: Introduction & Topic: Moving Away From Home.  Did you ever share personal problems like relationships or mental health with your parents? Or like most first-gens, did you keep a lot of things to yourself? What was it like to be the “first in your family to...”? Let’s talk about it.   This is an open forum that tackles the struggles of our generation, specifically focused on minorities/immigrants/children of immigrants. In each episode, there will be a topic in which I will discuss my own and my peers’ experiences, getting all kinds of perspectives. We discuss how we’re dealing with situations our families can’t necessarily understand due to different barriers or beliefs, and how that impacts our identity and growth during this crazy timeline we’re living in. Taking and giving advice from listeners, comparing our resolutions, and helping each other solve problems - or just laughing at them because that’s our way of coping too.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/firstgenviews/message
