  • Summary

  • They’re usually alone. They know no one. What little resources they have come from family or are doled out slowly by the government. There are many obstacles in their way and they’re expected to overcome them on their own. The surprising thing is, they usually do. “Our Guest Is” introduces us to this resilient group of people typically grouped together under the term immigrants, but perhaps better described as entrepreneurs, community builders, and survivors. Every other week we are joined by a different guest—tune in to hear about their journey in their own words. This show is presented by My East Coast Experience Media in partnership with RBC. Co-produced by My East Coast Experience Media and Ubuntu Media. Executive Produced by Ifeanyi Emesih. Distributed by Ubuntu Media.
