Seeking Refuge

Welcome to a new season of Seeking Refuge!

"Hello everyone! My name is Anusha Ghosh, and I am the Vice President and Secretary of Seeking Refuge, a podcast sharing the stories of refugees and migrants. Today, we are so excited to announce our 10th season’s theme: "Ventures: Supporting Refugee-Owned Businesses."

Seeking Refuge Podcast is dedicated to creating a platform that uplifts the voices of refugees, migrants, and activists. Our team and listening community have grown tremendously since our first season, and as we look back on our impact, we are honored to have had the opportunity to sit down with so many remarkable people across the world and share rich stories of creativity, entrepreneurship, education, and advocacy.

As we have grown, Seeking Refuge has had the ability to expand on its outreach capabilities, ensuring that we are able to maintain relationships with the people that we interview, whether that includes connecting USC students to refugee-founded non-profits or fundraising for a refugee program’s afterschool system. We want to continue to use this platform to support those making strides in the field of forced displacement.

Thus, that is how our topic of “Ventures: Supporting Refugee-Owned Businesses” was born. Our season is dedicated to interviewing small business owners who have an international and refugee background where we will converse about their life and passions and highlight their business for our listeners to support.

We have arranged for a diverse list of business owners to interview with us, and we cannot wait to share some of these wonderful interviews with our Seeking Refuge community.

Our first episode will be February 5th. If you have thoughts on this upcoming season, or want to get in touch with us for any reason, please email us at seeking refuge podcast AT gmail dot com.

This show is produced by undergraduate students at the University of South Carolina. The creator of this episode is me, Anusha Ghosh. Our executive producers are Claire Mattes and Victoria Halsey.

As always, thank you so much for listening, and we’ll see you in the next one."
