About this episode
Chandler Johnson shares a unique perspective on immigration and identity shaped by historical displacement and personal experiences.
Chandler Johnson brings a perspective on immigration and identity that’s rarely highlighted in mainstream conversations. While many immigrant stories start with a family’s conscious decision to move to a new country, Chandler's story is shaped by a much longer, more complex history—one marked by displacement through the transatlantic slave trade, gaps in family history, and growing up in a mixed-race household. Today, we’re going to explore that story and the role that race and perception play in navigating life, identity, and home!
