Day 6: Finding Meaning & Style in the Diaspora

Podcast: Listen to Your Footsteps 

Host: Kojo Baffoe 

Episode: Yasmin, Furmie – Breaking Boundaries & Crafting a Life of Meaning & Style 

If you're passionate about conversations that delve into identity, culture, and the resilience of the diaspora, then you won’t want to miss this episode of Listen to Your Footsteps. Kojo Baffoe brings a reflective and almost meditative quality to the mic as he chats with Yasmin and Furmie about their migration journeys, heritage, and self-expression.

Yasmin’s story particularly resonated with me; her family's move to Australia reflects the struggles many in the diaspora face while trying to carve out a sense of belonging in unfamiliar spaces. However, the discussion doesn’t just focus on challenges; it also celebrates the triumphs and creative ways people redefine what home means, all while staying connected to their roots.

Kojo masterfully weaves his own experiences into the conversation, which adds a natural and relatable touch to the dialogue. This podcast is perfect for a quiet morning spent with a good book or during a long road trip when you can truly immerse yourself in the richness of the discussion.

I also appreciate the podcast's multi-format approach. Kojo has included video, audio, and even a blog for those who prefer different ways to engage with the content. It’s a brilliant method of making storytelling accessible to a diverse audience.
