In this episode of Conversations from the Diaspora, a Building Africa’s Future podcast, we dive into the unique experiences of Millennial and Gen Z African firstborns navigating life between cultures. Join us as we chat with two special guests—a Nigerian-American Millennial and a Kenyan-American Gen Z—who share what it’s really like to grow up as the eldest in African immigrant families.
We explore topics like the pressure to meet family expectations, balancing African values with Western influences, and the similarities and differences in how Millennials and Gen Z approach the firstborn role. Our guests open up about their relationships with family, the journey of self-discovery, and the ways they’re redefining traditional roles to fit a modern identity.
Tune in to gain insights into generational shifts, cultural identity, and family dynamics as we uncover the real stories behind the firstborn experience in African households.
