Black Privilege, a Pilot and a Pandemic

Belinda and I started this podcast in a pandemic. We had both recently graduated into a world that was so different from what we dreamt and we knew weren't alone in dealing with dashed hopes. In addition, we knew that the career landscape would change so rapidly, so we wanted to help people prepare for their changes, pivots and switches. We talk about living as immigrants, moving from being completely independent in South Africa to being students and what it's like to live countries where black people are the minority. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tiyan-majoko/message
