In this show, five people who grew up in the diaspora tell us about their experiences with money & migration. We hear stories about sending money from the diaspora to the homeland, hawala, women’s microfinancing circles, and bricks of cash wrapped in aluminium foil. Thank you Charif Megarbane, Wisam Elfadl, Mariam Osman, Alex Hong & Pazilaiti Simayijiang for sharing.
