On this episode of New Neighbors, I spoke with Adama. Adama is originally from Senegal, and he came to New York when he was 17, alongside his parents and siblings. Adama is now 24 and about to graduate from college, where he studies finance. Being an immigrant from Senegal, Adama faced many challenges in New York. Though he thought not knowing the language would be his first barrier, Adama found that being Black in America posed a more significant challenge. Also, Adama’s visa is about to run out, so he’ll have to find a job that sponsors him to continue living in the US. Still, in the face of these adversities, Adama keeps an optimistic view of his life and appreciates the opportunities he’s been given.
