Description

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.

What are some of the biggest challenges you face as a single parent? - The challenges we face can be profound and often indescribable. Each day brings its own set of silent battles that test our resilience and strength. For instance, after my separation, the support I once relied on vanished. If you have children under five, you know they’re always getting sick, and as a working mother, I found myself constantly calling out of work, worrying about my job and the example I was setting for my team.   -Remember, God sees your struggles and hears your prayers. He provides for our needs, often in ways we don’t expect. Trust in His provision and embrace the lessons that come from these challenges. Your honesty with your children is a powerful lesson in faith and resilience.   Contact/Follow Concrete Pastures Concretepastures@gmail.com   APVA Nominee Buy our Merchandise Concrete Pastures t-shirts https://vetclothing.com/collections/sponsermerch/products/concrete-pastures-t-shirt   Sponsored by Betterhelp-Go https://betterhelp.com/concretepastures for 10% off your first month of therapy with BetterHelp and get matched with a therapist who will listen and help in as little as 48 hours.

Khallil Lambin is a former professional footballer and ex-Muslim whose life was radically transformed by Jesus Christ. Born with a deep passion for the beautiful game, he spent over a decade playing football across Europe, Asia, and the UK. Though he experienced success on the pitch, Khallil found himself unfulfilled—searching for something fame, travel, and trophies couldn’t satisfy. Everything changed through a life-altering encounter with Jesus. Today, Khallil is no longer defined by his football career but by his identity as a disciple of Christ. His mission is clear: to make disciples who make disciples, living in full obedience to the Great Commission. Now an ambassador of the Gospel, Khallil lives with authenticity and boldness, driven by a passion for the nations and a desire to see lives transformed. Whether mentoring young believers, teaching the Word, or sharing his testimony, he seeks to inspire others to discover true identity, freedom, and purpose in Jesus. Through every season, Khallil’s heart burns to see people encounter the love of God and walk in their divine calling. His journey is a testimony of redemption, purpose, and the power of a surrendered life.

Mwape Chimpampa is a remarkable 15-year-old secondary school student from Zambia. Driven by a personal loss, she has taken on the challenge of creating an affordable sunscreen specifically for people with albinism.

Cedric Muhikira is the author of  Libaax: Grow Your Roots Where You Land, a poignant exploration of identity and belonging. Hailing from a culture rich in storytelling, Cedric grew up surrounded by narratives shared over tea and during long walks home—tales that spoke of migration, struggle, and love. These experiences ignited his desire to weave his own stories. Though he didn't pursue formal writing education, Cedric honed his craft by immersing himself in the lives of others, particularly those navigating the complexities of dual identities. This rich tapestry of experiences shaped *Libaax*, which follows the journey of Ayaan, a Somali immigrant striving to forge a new life in Detroit. While Ayaan's story is fictional, it resonates with real emotions—displacement, hope, heartbreak, and resilience. Writing Libaax was Cedric's own leap of faith, mirroring Ayaan's journey within the narrative. He seeks to illustrate that home is not merely a physical location but a space we create with intention and perseverance. With a passion for stories that bridge cultures, Cedric honors the duality of our origins and aspirations. If you've ever felt caught between two worlds or carried the essence of home in your heart, Libaax is a book that speaks to you.   Support Cedric's book https://a.co/d/4t9pmPL https://www.amazon.com/Libaax-Grow-Your-Roots- Connect/Follow Cedric IG: iam_thecaptain_now website: cedricmuhikira.com Contact/Follow Concrete Pastures Concretepastures@gmail.com   APVA Nominee Buy our Merchandise Concrete Pastures t-shirts https://vetclothing.com/collections/sponser-merch/products/concrete-pastures-t-shirt  Sponsored by Betterhelp-Go https://betterhelp.com/concretepastures for 10% off your first month of therapy with BetterHelp and get matched with a therapist who will listen and help in as little as 48 hours.

Martin Ndungu is an inspiring immigrant who made the bold decision to leave his home in Kenya for new opportunities in the USA during his early 2000s. With the support of his family and friends, who raised funds to cover his one-way ticket, and a generous loan of $200 from his best friend, Martin embarked on a journey that would change his life. Today, he is a successful entrepreneur, owning over four businesses that generate eight-figure incomes and employ more than 100 people across three countries. Despite his busy professional life, Martin prioritizes spending quality time with his family. He is a dedicated homeschooling parent, believing that purpose-driven education is far more impactful in the marketplace than traditional schooling. In addition to his entrepreneurial ventures, Martin is the host of "The Immigrants Nation PODcast” (T.I.P), where he shares stories and insights about the immigrant experience and the journey toward success.
