I Passed Out Working 72 Hours to Pay for My Degree | The Immigrant Reality
What happens when the promise of financial support back home suddenly vanishes midway through your degree? In this episode of the Sabi Cruise Podcast, host Bisola sits down with Samuel, a UK-based sustainability consultant, to open up his "Failure Diary" for the very first time.From surviving a brutal 14-day stretch of 12-hour night shifts (yes, a 72-hour work week!) to literally passing out from sleep deprivation just to pay tuition, Samuel’s immigrant journey is a masterclass in adaptability and resilience.We also dive deep into the silent corporate struggles immigrants face: dealing with self-imposed pressure, navigating "Black Tax," learning self-advocacy when you're the only Black professional in the room, and the bizarre feeling of losing your personality just to fit into a new country.If you're navigating corporate life, moving abroad, or balancing budgeting with family expectations, this conversation is for you.
