Concrete Pastures Podcast
The word immigrant to so many like me, it signifies someone with a dream; a dreamer. I am Nancy Mulemwa Siisii. I was born and raised in Zambia, Africa, but I later migrated to America and settled in New York where I’ve been living for 20 years. As a dreamer, I have and continue to have a passion for making substantive bonds with audiences, and helping to inspire people to reach for their dreams. Being an immigrant has been one of the most challenging and extraordinary experiences of my life. It inspired me to start my podcast “Concrete Pastures: An African Immigrant Story” as a platform to reach out to fellow immigrants and dreamers.

Ms. Kemi Seriki is a Nigerian immigrant from Yoruba ethnic diversity. As a typical story of immigrants in America, Ms. Seriki migrated to the United States for a better life in the early 1980s. Since moving to the United States, she completed her master’s degree and is a proud mother of two adult children. She is a blogger, and many issues she writes on focus on the life of African immigrants.
In 2017, Ms. Seriki launched Pánsá Pánsá Forum to start a conversation about the first and second generations of African immigrant children growing up in American society. As many may know, the African community is often divided along the line of countries of origin, religion, and ethnic background. The forum's vision is to include African children from various ethnic backgrounds in the conversation. The purpose of the discussion is to create an open platform for the children to express their challenges as they try to balance between two worlds of having an American identity and maintaining their African heritage.
In March of 2021, Ms. Seriki launched Pánsá Pánsá Podcast to move the discussion global platform to attract more diverse participants to the dialogue, and the podcast is in its fourth season. The conversation on the podcast continues to focus on the lives of African immigrants and their assimilation into Western society as they raise younger generations in a country that is quite different from their own.
Ms. Seriki believes that education does not end after graduation and that one needs continuous engagement in self-education. As an avid reader of various interests, she enjoys reading scholarly publications on numerous discussions, including mental health, race relation in America, and African and African American history. She also participates in various conferences in the community on race in America and white privilege, social justice, gender inequality, and African forum focusing on African issues.
When she is not busy working on her project, she enjoys reading, listening to music, writing, engaging in conversation on social and political issues, and, most importantly, storytelling to the audience, the young and elders of the community.

The goal for this podcast is provide myself and others a platform to share stories as we deconstruct the world’s view of immigrant status, and unlock the joys, laughs, and bravery that being a dreamer brings about. Tune in today!
