In this episode of Our Greener Pastures, we are joined by Tofa, a storyteller at heart who believes deeply in the importance of immigrants sharing their journeys. Tofa opens up about his decision to leave Nigeria in pursuit of freedom and self-discovery—a quest to carve out a life where he could truly be himself. He shares the often-overlooked challenges of adapting to a new culture, from mastering the transit system to embracing the constant drive to seize opportunities by asking, “What’s the next big thing?”
Tofa’s reflections extend into fatherhood and family life, as he discusses the rewarding but demanding journey of parenting. He speaks candidly about learning that there are no shortcuts to being a good parent and the intentional effort it takes to build meaningful connections with his child.
As an immigrant, Tofa has learned the art of patience and self-compassion, embracing his journey without the weight of comparison to others. He emphasizes the importance of staying rooted in one’s heritage and culture, finding strength in his Nigerian roots while navigating his path in a new country. This episode is a profound reflection on resilience, the power of storytelling, and the journey of creating a life that honors both where you come from and where you’re headed.
