The word immigrant to so many like me, it signifies someone with a dream; a dreamer. I am Nancy Mulemwa Siisii. I was born and raised in Zambia, Africa, but I later migrated to America and settled in New York where I’ve been living for 20 years. As a dreamer, I have and continue to have a passion for making substantive bonds with audiences, and helping to inspire people to reach for their dreams. Being an immigrant has been one of the most challenging and extraordinary experiences of my life. It inspired me to start my podcast “Concrete Pastures: An African Immigrant Story” as a platform to reach out to fellow immigrants and dreamers.

S5 Ep 18 Martin Ndungu's Journey of Resilience and Entrepreneurship
Martin Ndungu is an inspiring immigrant who made the bold decision to leave his home in Kenya for new opportunities in the USA during his early 2000s. With the support of his family and friends, who raised funds to cover his one-way ticket, and a generous loan of $200 from his best friend, Martin embarked on a journey that would change his life. Today, he is a successful entrepreneur, owning over four businesses that generate eight-figure incomes and employ more than 100 people across three countries. Despite his busy professional life, Martin prioritizes spending quality time with his family. He is a dedicated homeschooling parent, believing that purpose-driven education is far more impactful in the marketplace than traditional schooling.

His memoir entitled, Echo of the Spirit: A Photographer’s Journey and illustrated Ancient Nubia: African Kingdoms on the Nile.

Concrete Pastures Podcast
The word immigrant to so many like me, it signifies someone with a dream; a dreamer. I am Nancy Mulemwa Siisii. I was born and raised in Zambia, Africa, but I later migrated to America and settled in New York where I’ve been living for 20 years. As a dreamer, I have and continue to have a passion for making substantive bonds with audiences, and helping to inspire people to reach for their dreams. Being an immigrant has been one of the most challenging and extraordinary experiences of my life. It inspired me to start my podcast “Concrete Pastures: An African Immigrant Story” as a platform to reach out to fellow immigrants and dreamers.
