Have you ever felt like you don't have a "home" where to go to?Veena is our guest of the week and we explored her multiple immigration journeys. From being born in the USA to moving to Canada, then living in India (where her family is from), exploring life in Africa, England, and currently in Costa Rica.Veena talks about the complexity of the immigrant identity and how our parent's immigration journey can influence us so much. Something that truly inspired me about this conversation is the concept of the privilege that immigration can bring.
