This week, I’m joined by Janine: born in Germany, raised in the US, while being half Ghanaian. With a German last name and a rich heritage, Janine’s life is a journey through cultures, languages, and labels. We talk about growing up in a multicultural New York neighborhood, navigating identity in spaces that don’t always reflect your full story, and what it means to carry a name that doesn’t match the languages you speak. It’s a thoughtful, honest conversation about feeling seen, unseen, and everything in between!
