Join the Braga sisters, Lesley & Stacy, as they dive into the world of first-generation immigrant experiences. Growing up between two cultures brought its own set of challenges, joys, and unforgettable stories—and we’re here to spill all the tea. From being the official family translator to figuring out what a FASFA form even is… we explore what it means to grow up as the bridge between generations and cultures. Featuring sisterly conversations and guest stories from fellow first-gens, this podcast is a celebration of resilience, identity, and community. Whether you’re a first-gen yourself or simply curious about the experiences of navigating two worlds, this is your place to feel seen, heard, and inspired—and maybe even laugh a bit.

A Perpetual Immigrant: Navigating Race, Identity, and Home with Isaac Lungu

In this episode of Unapologetically First Gen, we sit down with our friend Isaac Lungu who shares what it’s been like to move through the world as a perpetual immigrant—from Botswana to several U.S. states, and now Canada.

Isaac talks about the layers of identity he’s had to navigate as someone who grew up African, became “Black” in America, and now raises his kid in a third culture. We explore how systemic issues—from racism to healthcare to capitalism—intertwine with personal experience, and what it means to stay rooted when home is constantly shifting.
