Myra moved to the UK with her family in 2020. At the time, she was serving as the Programs Manager at Urban Radio as well as the breakfast show host. After moving to the UK, Myra had a short stint with the Times UK producing and presenting podcasts. She also started her own podcast, Almost Diaspora that focused on profiling immigrants from across the world.

Her last stint was at the Tanzanian fintech startup NALA Money where she was in charge of the organization’s UK operations handling four African markets.

]]> Take your mind back to that moment you went to a new school where you knew no one as a child. How easy was it for you to fit in, to make friends…or even to find someone to talk to?

While not all of us have had the opportunity to leave our birth countries to settle in new ones, the experience of being dropped into an unfamiliar territory is something we have all experienced at one point in our lives.

This podcast by Myra Anubi, a Kenyan journalist who recently moved to the United Kingdom, is inspired by her own lived experiences. The culture shock of a girl raised in Kenya trying to fit into the bustling life of London.

Making friends, finding schools for her two children, getting a job and just trying to remain sane – all of course in the middle of a pandemic.

In the now seven episodes of this podcasts, she talks to different people who have made similar moves to various parts of the world, sharing their experiences in their own words as she subtly tries to draw parallels with her lived experiences.

Stories from Kenya, Japan, India, Portugal, Brazil and of course the USA.

It’s the first time I am reviewing a podcast by a Kenyan and I can promise you the storytelling technique used in this one is quite engaging. Perhaps influenced by her previous experience working on Kenyan radio and her recent gig as a podcast producer for The Times UK.

Myra employs humour, wit and incredible sound production techniques that make each episode quite captivating.

My favorite episodes are ‘Naked in Japan’ and ‘The 44th Tribe, India.’

I listen to this podcast on Anchor (by Spotify), but you can also find it on Sound Cloud.
