Bernice Lao - We Are Ireland
We Are Ireland is a three-episode podcast exploring identity, belonging and what it is like to experience living between cultures.
Each episode features interviews with individuals who have made Ireland their home, sharing personal stories of migration, childhood and everyday life. Through these conversations, the podcast captures both the challenges and the richness of building a life in a new place. Themes of family, tradition and cultural identity blossoms as each speaker reflects on how their past continues to shape their present, share their hopes for our society and advise that they would give to future generations. By bringing together these voices, We Are Ireland offers a more nuanced view of contemporary Ireland, one shaped by diverse experiences, shared connections, and evolving identities.
