Listen "059. Audio Essay: Behold the Dreamers by Imbolo Mbue"
Episode Synopsis
I read Behold the Dreamers in 2018 and loved it so much that I wrote a reaction essay to process my thoughts and feelings about the story. Every so often I re-read the essay, and decided to record it and turn it into an episode. The story follows characters Jende and Neni, and married couple from Cameroon who come to the states with their six year old son with hope for a better future in the US. But things prove much more challenging than they anticipate and they find themselves in situations that force them to make decisions they never thought they would have to make.As always, please share and recommend, and thank you so much for the support!EMAIL: [email protected] me through my social media handles!
