Episode 44 - Own your immigration story is your best asset
Show Notes

We all know the importance of history through time, but we never give enough matter to ours. Our past helped us build our present, so be proud of yours, especially one of the most meaningful events of it; immigrating.   

Despite the stigmas that all immigrants suffer, we can use this difference to stand out in different aspects of our lives.

In this episode, I want to share three things you should do to become a proud immigrant and turn it into an asset for your life.

Enjoy!

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

[6:50] You are the best storyteller.

Whatever you're doing right now is because you deserve it. Share your story with pride, the good, the bad, and the ugly. 

Storytelling is extraordinary for your professional and personal life; it helps you connect with people and never forget you. 

[16:05] Make fun of the stereotypes.

One of the things I learned in my country is knowing how to laugh at bad things. Stereotypes don't define who you are. Laughter is one of the best ways to cope with these types of uncomfortable or negative moments, especially because you know you are not like that. Just laugh!

[21:19] Connect with what you know.

As immigrants from less developed countries, we are used to working hard or simply having less modern tools, unlike developed ones. You already know how to work hard, now, the next part is learning how to use those tools.
