Join us as we share our SURVIVOR GUILT as second-generation migrants grappling with the messy and complex issues around being the ones who ‘made it out’.

In this episode, we explore issues around escaping war, sending money back home, recognising our privilege and sharing our parents’ migration story to preserve what they went through as a way to heal.
