SERIES Children of Immigrants: From Iraq...

Uzma Jafri
About this episode

There's so much Zeena on the podcast, and you'll find out why next week!

@zeena_altalib joins us for the first of our Children of Immigrants series this month, recounting her family's move to the US from Iraq, her experience of it as a teen and now, as a mom. At the end of the day, we determine that mothering is the same whether you are an immigrant mom or native born, but the paths to and from there may be different. Certainly, the challenges are!

As a mom of boys and a business coach, Zeena's coping strategies are noteworthy, so grab a pad and pencil and listen to this one! As a child of immigrants, her aid to her parents is also something to write home about.

Tune in at 6pm EST on Apple podcasts, Stitcher, Amazon Music, or head over to our website to launch, and share this episode with your immigrant parents.
