What We Leave We Carry: May 2025

What We Leave We Carry, the podcast series from WritersMosaic telling migrants stories about their time in the UK., continues this month with:

• Miguel Hernando Torres Umba: “I will be very critical of this place, always, of empire, of their political history, of the way it behaves towards the rest of the world, but I do feel a massive level of appreciation for this place.” Listen here.
• Robin Paine, an artist who eventually settled in Edinburgh, after originally moving from Kenya to London where she felt completely invisible.  Listen here.
• Adiam Yemane, who recalls her shock of arrival in Britain and discovering women no longer wore Victorian dresses and garments. Listen here.
• Almir Koldzic on arriving in the UK from former Yugoslavia, and feeling that he doesn’t have a place he can really call “back home”. Listen here.
