Nahom Fissaha shares with us his experience and transition into America. Moving from Ethiopia at a young age, Nahom went to a very diverse middle school and high school. He was able to experience many different cultures through the friends he made and experiencing their home life and food! This quickly shifted as Nahom went to college and attended a primarily white university. Nahom struggled with identity and was able to use this opportunity to see another side of America and reflect on himself. He made the most of his university experience and then pretty recently transitioned into the professional world, where he worked remotely (even before COVID-19) and took this opportunity to explore and live a nomadic lifestyle. His pro tip: Make your university account password a positive affirmation! Check out the full interview to learn about Nahom's experiences growing up, at university, and exploring the states while working a full-time job.
