🚀 The Paradox of Immigration in a Land of Opportunity 🚀In a country that actively seeks talent, expertise, and labour, why do we erect such formidable barriers for those who wish to contribute? This contradiction is at the heart of a compelling story I recently uncovered on my podcast with Jayne Laura Akinyi O. , the visionary founder of Dada Dunia. Jayne's move to Canada was supposed to herald a new chapter filled with opportunity and growth. 🇨🇦➡️🌎Despite her extensive global experience across four continents, a master's degree from the UK, and a resume rich in diversity, she was met with a bewildering challenge. The warm promise of "start a brand new life in Canada" morphed into a cold reality marked by a haunting refrain: "You don't have Canadian experience." This phrase, vague and repeatedly wielded, began to lose all significance. What does "Canadian experience" mean when one has thrived in varied international environments? 🤔Her initial excitement turned existential as she grappled with just surviving—juggling two minimum-wage jobs and battling a deteriorating mental health that led to hospitalization for ulcers. A painful yet clarifying moment. 🏥💡Why should this journey be so arduous? Why must any newcomer, particularly a Black woman, navigate such a relentless uphill in a land celebrated for its inclusivity and opportunities?From this crucible of hardship, Dada Dunia was born. Initially conceived to help immigrants in Canada, Jayne’s mission expanded after engaging deeply with over 200 women in Kenya, recognizing that meaningful change needed to start at the roots. 🌱🔄Jayne's resilience and determination not only improved her own circumstances but also set out to smooth the path for others. Her story is a testament to the power of overcoming and transforming systemic barriers into bridges.As we share her journey, let’s challenge ourselves and our systems:How can we truly value diverse experiences in our professional landscapes?What steps can we undertake to ensure the 'new life' promise is a gateway, not a maze of barriers?To listen/watch/ or read the entire conversation, visit: lnkd.in/gBme_ipgChange is overdue.
