Show notes

On this episode join us as Macanjy shares his immigration story. We dish on various jobs we have had as new immigrants like door-to-door sales, Skipthedishes and Instacart delivery to name a few. We discuss the hustle mindset of immigrants and how that evolves the longer a person settles in their new country. Come and laugh with us! Macanjy (JOLA) is a multimedia artist, storyteller, and curator. Originally from Nigeria, he now resides in Canada with his wife. His art has been showcased in exhibitions all over the country with a successful run of his solo exhibition "Diary of a Mad Black Woman," shedding light on the challenges faced by underrepresented women. Beyond his artistic practice, Macanjy possesses a captivating personality characterized by a deep appreciation for meaningful conversations, a penchant for storytelling, and a profound passion for the art of painting.Follow him on Instagram @macanjy-----------If you are a Black African or Caribbean immigrant and would like to be a featured guest on Afros in the Diaspora Podcast, please fill out this GUEST FORMIf you need advice or you have a confession, fill in this ANONYMOUS ADVICE FORMIf you need financial advice as an immigrant, fill in this ANONYMOUS FINANCIAL ADVICE FORMJOIN THE COMMUNITY ---Facebook | Instagram | TikTok | Threads - @afrosinthediasporaX - @aitd_podcastFor Email Inquiries - hi@afrosinthediaspora.com
