EP 50| Can Immigration Be A Traumatic Experience? ft. Bisola Adediji

In this episode, Tosan and Moyo sit down with Bisola Adediji—a licensed marriage and family therapist-associate based in Texas—to explore the emotional and psychological impact of immigration.

As a first-generation Nigerian-American, Bisola brings both personal insight and clinical expertise to unpack how immigration can shape a person’s mental health, identity, and worldview. Together, they dive into the often-unspoken trauma tied to immigration experiences: from cultural disconnection and emotional suppression, to complicated family dynamics and generational pressure.

They also discuss ways to cope, heal, and support yourself or loved ones through the unique challenges of navigating life as an immigrant or first-gen child. Whether you're in the diaspora or connected to it, this conversation is real, necessary, and deeply affirming. 🌍💬✨

Trigger Warning: This episode includes sensitive discussions around trauma and mental health. Please listen with care.
