Living as an Immigrant: The Burden of Representation & The Bread Test

What does it really mean to be an immigrant in Germany? In this deeply personal episode of Hear My True Story, I share my experiences navigating life as a migrant—from the painful realization that one immigrant’s crime can define an entire community to the humorous challenge of integrating through German bread. I open up about the weight of expectations, the struggle of proving our place in society, and the double standards that shape how immigrants are perceived. But amidst these challenges, there are small victories—like finally mastering the overwhelming variety of German bread! Join me as I explore the complexities of migration, the importance of respect, and the unexpected ways we measure integration. And don’t worry, the soup story will have to wait for another episode! Tune in to hear my true story—one of resilience, adaptation, and, of course, bread.
