Welcome to the debut audio episode of "Migrant Stories," where we explore the inspiring journeys of the Guyanese diaspora. In this first-ever audio installment, we feature Stephon, whose story was also the inaugural print version shared on our social media. As a teenager in Guyana, Stephon dreamed of becoming a pilot. A fateful trip to London led him to pursue university there, marking the beginning of an extraordinary journey.
Join us as Stephon recounts his experiences of culture shock and finding a sense of belonging among fellow Caribbeans in the UK. Discover how he built a successful career in aeronautical engineering and project management, including working for Boeing, and has now been a UK citizen for 30 years. Despite his achievements, Stephon’s heart remains connected to Guyana, and he shares his aspirations to return home and contribute to its development.
This episode provides a deep dive into the highs and lows of migration, the power of community, and the enduring bond to one's homeland. Tune in to "Migrant Stories" and be inspired by Stephon's remarkable transformation from a young dreamer in Guyana to a respected project manager in the UK.
