Finding your identity is hard, but finding your identity as a first-generation immigrant is a whole other battle according to this week’s guest, Michael Rain. Michael is Ghanaian-American. He has over one million views on his TED Talk where he tells a story about his childhood and trying to find his identity. He also started ENODI, a digital gallery highlighting the lives of first-generation people and immigrants of African, Caribbean and Latinx descent. Today, Josh Martin interviews Michael about how to discover your identity in a society so prone to stereotypes and how taking care of your mental health can help lead you to find your identity.
In an attempt to wipe the memory of the depressing talentless offering by local muso's Rain and Horn a couple of weeks ago, Terry Horn has had a second crack at putting together a more update version of the them song for the podcast. Things we like:lyrics are largely indecipherable except for "JP and Nicko are legends of the town" and "Terry Downs Terry Downs Terry Downs Terry Downs";autotune means don't have to have any singing talent;generic dance beat and synth means don't have to think or feel when listening;does not mention "a Camembert Crown";Michael Rain's limited involvement (although we hope he is recovering from his chronic mental health issues).

Michael Rain a pour mission de raconter les récits des immigrés de première génération, qui ont des liens très forts avec deux pays : le pays dans lequel ils ont grandi, et leur pays d'origine. Dans cette conférence personnelle, il brise les préjugés et les récits limités des immigrés et partage les histoires des mondes auxquels ils appartiennent. « Nous engendrons des creusets culturels, » dit-il. « Si quelque chose dans ce creuset a une odeur nouvelle ou différente selon vous, ne faites pas la fine bouche, demandez-nous de partager. »
Michael Rain está em uma missão para contar as histórias de imigrantes da primeira geração, que têm fortes laços tanto com os países em que cresceram quanto com seus países de origem. Em uma palestra pessoal, ele derruba as descaracterizações e as narrativas limitadas dos imigrantes e compartilha as histórias dos mundos a que pertencem. "Estamos fazendo caldeirões de cultura", diz Rain. "Se algo nessa panela cheirar novo ou diferente para você, não torça o nariz. Peça-nos para compartilhar."
