국제 시민 되기| The One with Doni Aldine – On Global Cultural Identity: Episode 33 (2021)

Identity is a word that is commonly used and thrown around. Cultural identity is a component of a person's identity, including self-perception, nationality, ethnicity, and religion.

In this episode, Doni Aldine, my guest is a globally mobile Afro-Latina and first-generation North American sensation who identifies with seven different cultures. Doni is passionate about creating community for cross-cultural populations. She is also the Founder of Culturs magazine, which reaches more than 1.2 million through email, mobile, digital, and print editions.

In this episode, she shared her upbringing and its influence on her passions. In addition, she explains how she has been able to embrace her global cultural identity and the impact it has had on relationships. Doni also provided practical tips on engaging with diverse cultures, especially in the era of cancel culture and political correctness. She discussed vulnerability and empathy, as well as their roles in cultural curiosity.

It’s been eight years since T-Dawg visited Nigeria. Before we boarded the plane, I did a sesh with him to gauge his expectations – which sadly were non-existent. But I did try to dig out some potential things to be excited about regarding going back home.

We also answered a personal question from one of our listeners about our braces.

Hint: If you are using your teeth, you are doing it all wrong. Well, you have to listen to find out what this is about.

미래 대사님| The One with Alex- Future United Nations Ambassador: Episode 16 (2018)

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: The One with Alex

Meet Alex: Alex grew up in Trujillo, Peru and is one of the amazing 20 year-olds I have ever come in contact with. He was an exchange student here in Oklahoma, and in this episode, we explored what growing up in Peru was like, his triumphs and regrets as an exchange student in the US, and his future ambitions.

According to Alex:

"I come from a multicultural family; being Latin, Hispanic, and Peruvian is such a blessing to me. Peru is such a multicultural place; we got so many influences around the world. We pretty much are still in the shadow of the Inca Empire. We were a Spanish colony for so long. If you wanna eat, visit Peru; if you wanna experience culture, visit Peru. In addition to visiting Machu Picchu, there are many other beautiful places to visit. Peruvians are warm and friendly, and the country is also very inviting. If I could choose one thing I love about Peru, it would have to be the food."

On why he is interested in international affairs and diplomacy, Alex had this to say:

“I do believe that together, we can achieve a lot. Sometimes, when we do not get involved with other people (from other countries), we see more differences than similarities. We are in an era of globalization, every culture must contribute something."
