Happy New Year to our listeners, and welcome to Pansa Pansa Podcast. At Pansa Pansa Podcast, we continue to explore meaningful conversations that contribute to the welfare of our African immigrant communities in the diaspora. Many topics are coming your way that speaks to our needs as we continue to inspire our community.

The topics to explore include retirement planning and the logistics of old age. We will discuss mental health and mental illness and how our cultural background and stigma of mental illness hinder our ability to seek help. I am also inviting a psychiatrist who specializes in addiction and mental health, and the focus group of the conversation would be African immigrant children. The Pansa Pansa Podcast aims to continue to break the barriers on uncomfortable topics, challenge the stigma, and inspire positive changes as we work through the collective growth and well-being of our communities in the diaspora.
