Growing Up First-Gen, Overcoming Identity Crisis, and Finding Your Tribe

This one’s for all my first-generation baddies…if you know, you know. Today we’re asking the question: what are the mental, emotional, and social implications of growing up in a culture and environment drastically different than your parents? In this week’s episode our host, Priscilla O. Agyeman, MPH shares the ins and outs of growing up as a second generation immigrant, finding appreciation in her Ghanaian culture, shifting through an identity crisis and finally finding her tribe.
