When Roots Unravel - Chika & Poppy

What happens when a friendship built on shared roots starts to unravel?

In this episode, Chika opens up about her once-easy connection with Poppy, a friendship grounded in culture, laughter, and the comfort of speaking their native tongue.

But as life shifted during COVID, their bond began to change. Catch-ups turned rare, and one-on-one time felt more like an obligation than joy. Chika found herself emotionally carrying the friendship while receiving less in return.
