WritersMosaic‘s latest What We Leave We Carry episodes feature stories from US, Thai, French, Polish and Puerto Rican migrants. Listen out for:

  • Anna Blasiak, who says: ‘If you ask me whether I feel British and how I identify, I would say I identify as confused.” Listen here.
  • Anouk, who was raised in Paris by Jewish parents from Algeria and Tunisia before coming to the UK. Listen here.
  • YuYie, who reflects on her challenging transition from Thailand to the highlands of Scotland. Listen here.
  • Eve Grubin, who was so affected by the differences she found in the English language when she relocated to London from the US that she wrote a poem, ‘American in England’. Listen here.
  • Claudia Rivera Echevarría, who reflects on how she diluted her Puerto Rican vitality while living in the UK. Listen here.
