Can you believe it? This is the final Immigrantly episode of 2024! As I reflect on this incredible year, I’m grateful for the meaningful stories and conversations we’ve shared. Together, we’ve leaned into curiosity, allyship, and learning, and I can’t wait to bring you even more inspiring voices in 2025. Mark your calendars—our first episode of the new year drops on January 14th! But before we step into the future, I’m thrilled to end the year with an unforgettable guest, Bambadjan Bamba. You may know him from Black Panther or The Good Place, but his story goes far beyond the screen. Bambadjan is a passionate advocate for immigrant rights and a proud DACA recipient whose journey challenges us to rethink belonging and resilience. He’s also the creative force behind Bogolonfini, an Afrocentric streetwear brand featuring the stunning Afro Poncho Collection, which he describes as Afro-futuristic. In this episode, Bambadjan and I dive into the intersections of his art, activism, and identity. We talk about his experiences as an immigrant, his mission to amplify underrepresented voices, and how he’s redefining what it means to be American. So, let’s close out 2024 with a robust conversation. To those celebrating, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Immigrantly is a weekly podcast that celebrates the extraordinariness of immigrant life.
