On this episode I interviewed Damilola Kuku, a Nigerian immigrant who migrated to Canada in 2017 as an International Student with 2 children and her husband. She shared with me the story of "WHY" she moved to Canada with her family despite having a thriving photography career/business in Nigeria. As with any new immigrant, she had to adjust to her new country, dealing the very cold Toronto winters, culture shock, school work, raising her young children and being a wife and mom. Damilola made the brave decision to come to Canada after she nearly lost her life during her first 2 births through C-section in Nigeria. She narrated her traumatic child birth experience in Nigeria, her long journey to recovery with the support of her husband and family and how she made the tough decision to leave her thriving/successful photography business to move to Canada. She also gave very valid advice to married couples migrating to a new country, how they need to remain focused on their "Why" and keep making compromises to ensure their marriage thrives in the new country abroad. She's now an entrepreneur, financial advisor, and the author of a book called, "Living, Loving, Thriving", which shares the stores of struggle and hope of 6 immigrant women who've made the move to Canada to make a better life.
Damilola's story is one of bravery, determination and tenacity. Despite obstacles and difficulties, she never let anything deter/stop her. If you're an immigrant or hoping to move abroad to any new country, her story will inspire you and give you the courage to keep going. Hope you enjoyed this episode.
