Redefining Success in the Diaspora
Success wears a new face when you leave home.
For many African professionals, migrating to Australia (or any new country) is both a leap of faith and a test of patience. Back home, success was often measured by the title before your name, the house you built, or the relatives you supported. But in the diaspora, the yardstick shifts. Suddenly, success might mean stability, recognition, or simply belonging.
In this episode, we explore how life abroad forces us to redefine success — not as a finish line, but as a journey of growth and adaptation. Our guests share powerful stories about starting from scratch, learning new systems, and sometimes even humbling themselves to rebuild careers they once led back home.
They remind us that success isn’t about abandoning who we were, but evolving who we can become. It’s in the courage to keep showing up — for family, for purpose, for yourself — even when the world feels different.
If you’ve ever looked at your life and thought, “I should be further by now,” this episode will encourage you to measure progress differently. You are growing, not standing still.
🎧 Tune in and reflect: What does success mean to you now — and how has your journey reshaped it?
