In a world where first-generation immigrants wish to forge new friendships, build self-esteem, foster a sense of belonging, learn a new language, and navigate the U.S school system without feeling alone and wanting to achieve success and the American Dream, but face the hurdle of assimilation, safety concerns, loneliness, and often negative perceptions of immigrants, therefore, How We’re Doing It exists as role model or mentors with similar lived experiences to guide, encourage, and hold first-gen accountable to help them achieve live happily ever after by empowering first-generation voices and celebrating their remarkable journey towards success in an unfamiliar world.
Yazmin & Tijani exemplify the first-gen spirit. They're a dynamic couple who are first-generation college graduates, homeowners, and advocates for living a debt-free lifestyle. Tijani hails from West Africa, Sierra Leone, while Yazmin is from, Veracruz, Mexico. They met in college, where they quickly bonded over their shared values and aspirations. Tijani was drawn to Yazmin's determination and kindness, while Yazmin admired Tijani's resilience and ambition. Together, they have built a life centered around their family, faith, and community, inspiring others to pursue their dreams and overcome obstacles.
Our podcast is a beacon of empowerment for first-generation voices, celebrating their extraordinary path to success.
