culture
It all started with one overdue trip back to our homeland that sparked our interest in sharing the stories of natives and brainstorming initiatives aimed to improve life for our people back home. We thought, "if we feel inspired to elevate our community, there must be other first-gen millennials who feel inspired to do the same"! Together, we explore the intricacies of various cultural traditions, mindsets, and beliefs that shape the first-generation experience.
community
From cousins to co-hosts. We've established a bond and a sense of community amongst ourselves through our strong sisterhood. This opened our eyes to the power of community and a need to connect other first-gens of diverse backgrounds with each other.
the come-up
As always, we dream BIG and aim HIGH the first gems doesn't stop at the podcast. It doesn't stop at sharing stories on social. Our mission is bigger than that. We inspire our fellow community of first-gens to embrace who they are, give back and go after their dreams.
