À propos de cet audio

Lupita Nyong’o knows what home feels like. But where exactly is it? In Mexico, where she was born? Kenya, where she grew up? Or the States, where she’s spent the past 20 years?

Like Lupita, millions of Africans are spread out across the globe following family, searching for love, building futures and creating stories. It's these stories – wild and messy, intimate and joyous – that she wants to hear.

Welcome to Mind Your Own, a storytelling podcast navigating what it means to belong, all from the African perspective. Join Lupita as she shares tales of her own and dives into the lives of real people finding their way in new worlds of every kind.

Production by Snap Studios at KQED, ad sales and distribution by Lemonada Media.

I really love this 😍😍

I’m 17 and always wanted to be an actress. I’m from Nigeria and always knew my accent wouldn’t be accepted. I’m in Canada now and find it difficult making friends cause I’m scared of speaking with my accent. How would I ever chase my dreams with this accent!
On the other hand I really don’t listen to podcasts but this was amazing. I ate this up quickly. The story telling brought back so much nostalgia! As an African I’m so proud of this podcast, so refreshing and entertaining! Can’t wait to listen to more of this.
😍
