Expand/collapse
Main
DescriptionIn today’s episode, host Nancy sits down with Juliana, a vibrant member of the Northern Beaches community, to share her remarkable story of survival and resilience. Juliana invites us into her life’s journey, from her childhood in Derbyshire, England, and roots in Jamaica, to raising three daughters on her own after immigrating to Australia.
With humor, honesty, and an unfiltered perspective, Juliana discusses navigating the challenges of building a new life, the realities of raising children as a single mother, and what it means to find belonging in a community that hasn’t always been welcoming. She dives into her experiences with racism, overcoming adversity, and the sources of strength that have carried her through, her family, her heritage, and her unwavering determination.
This episode is filled with heartfelt moments, candid reflections, and a powerful reminder that everyone has a story worth hearing.
Tune in for an inspiring conversation that celebrates survival, identity, and the importance of never giving up.
