This week on the podcast, we’re joined by the Kids of the Colony – Abu Finiin, Kayum Miah, and Zak Hajjaj – three London-born friends who are making waves online by documenting powerful, funny, and deeply personal journeys to their ancestral homelands: Bangladesh, Morocco, and Somaliland. Through their viral docuseries and social media content, they explore identity, culture, and what it means to reconnect with your roots. From meeting family in remote villages to sharing real stories from the diaspora, these guys are flipping the script on travel and representation.
