When we first moved to Kenya from America, I was in the midst of other BIG changes in my life. I was transitioning out of school, just getting my career started, AND I was transitioning into motherhood - which definitely made the adjustment period to life in a new country pretty difficult. Moving somewhere new is SO intense and it’s comforting to want to hold onto elements of your old life in the beginning - and in turn, resisting assimilation into the culture and ways of your new home. We often underestimate how much where we are from shapes our identity, and it can be a shock to the system when you’re removed from that ‘safe space’. There were lots of uncertainties and challenges, but, like with most things, patience and time are what it has taken for things to settle into place. A year and a half on, my mindset has definitely changed. Find out what helped me feel more comforted and like I finally belong here (and how all of this helped me understand more about my parents and childhood).
