Lagos, Nigeria | Mixed First-Timer’s Diaspora Reflections

In this rather vulnerable video, I reflect on my first-ever trip to Nigeria as a mixed woman from the diaspora – born in Poland and living in London, England. After sharing some of my vlogs, I received positive feedback but also criticism that I am "an inadequate window into Nigeria." So today, I’m talking about what it means to return to a country you've never been to, even when your roots are deeply connected to it. I reference Chinua Achebe’s idea of the balance of stories, explain who my audience is (mostly fellow diasporans), and clarify that I am sharing my story of Nigeria – not the story of Nigeria.
