A podcast centred around discussing the real issues that have affected the Somali diaspora & avoiding false narratives that have stopped progressive conversations from taking place for many years. We aim to speak about the problems that have weakened us since our parents migrated to the West in the 90's. We hope that, through this platform, we can share both our and your voices & opinions on what can be done to improve the outlook of the community now - and tomorrow. Overcoming hurdles with a new perspective.

- Challenges he faced with his digital marketing agency

- The benefits & challenges of freelancing (including work-life balance and financial instability)

- Main inspiration behind founding Pivot2Tech

- Is freelancing really as alluring as it may seem?
