Welcome back to Iko Nini! If you are looking for inspiration from a local DJ who managed to cement his career from America to Kenya and back to America then this Iko Nini podcast video is for you. Stay tuned as Mwafreeka invites VJ ONE, a Kenyan who never gave up on his success journey. Mwafreeka and VJ ONE also discuss more on the challenges Kenyans face when they get to USA, as he shares his personal accounts:

The Hurdles of Homeland: Permanent Residency

First up, navigating the path to permanent residency (green card) can be a long and complex process. Understanding legalities, gathering documentation, and waiting for approvals can be stressful and time-consuming. Don't forget the associated costs – legal fees and application procedures can add up quickly.

Lost in the Land of Plenty: Loneliness and Isolation

Beyond legalities, many Kenyans struggle with feelings of loneliness and isolation. Adapting to a new culture, building a social circle, and potentially missing loved ones back home can take a toll.

From Bustling Matatu to Chaotic Freeway: Cultural Clashes and Everyday Adjustments

Beyond the emotional challenges, adjusting to everyday life in the US presents its own hurdles. Everything from navigating a new transportation system to understanding social cues can be overwhelming. Missing familiar Kenyan foods and traditions can add to the feeling of displacement.

Remember, You're Not Alone!

While these challenges are real, it's important to remember there's a vibrant Kenyan community in the US. Reaching out to established Kenyan organizations and online forums can provide invaluable support and guidance.
