In this episode, we sit down with Nancy Di Bella, a woman whose life has been shaped by resilience, displacement, and the search for stability across continents. Born and raised in Venezuela, Nancy shares what it was like growing up in a country rich in culture but increasingly defined by political turmoil and uncertainty. As conditions worsened, she and her family made the difficult decision to flee their home, joining millions forced to leave in search of safety and opportunity.</p><p>But Nancy’s journey didn’t end there. After building a new life in the United States, she faced yet another turning point, one that led her to uproot everything again and start over in the United Kingdom this last year. </p><p>In this conversation, Nancy opens up about identity, belonging, and the emotional toll of starting from scratch more than once.
