#10: Don’t Let Them Other You: Legal, Emotional, and Collective Resistance Strategies for Diasporas

From stress to strategy—what every diaspora changemaker should be thinking about.

You Belong. You Have Options. Let’s Talk About It.

In this episode of That Second-Gen Life, I’m breaking down what so many of us are feeling right now: uncertainty. Between policy shifts, breaking news, and rising tension, it’s easy to feel like everything about your life—your status, your rights, your future—is up in the air.

But let me be clear: you are not the “other.” You belong. And no matter where you’re from, how you got here, or where you are now, you have rights. You have choices. And you have power.

I’m walking you through some hard but necessary questions: Are you prepared for different scenarios? Do you know your legal and financial options? Have you thought about what community really means for you right now?

This isn’t about panic—it’s about preparation. I’ve spent years working in conflict zones and policy spaces, and one thing I’ve learned is this: clarity is power.

🎧 Tune in to this episode for practical steps, honest reflection, and real talk.
