About this listen

Raluca was born in Bucharest just weeks before the Romanian Revolution of 1989, part of a generation often described as the first to grow up free.

In this episode she talks about how family history and identity have shaped her life, from stories of formidable women in her family to a childhood spent chasing opportunities to travel.

This curiosity eventually brought her to the UK, where a scholarship opened the door to a new chapter in Manchester.

Along the way she has learned a great deal about belonging, migration, politics and the complicated ways people learn to trust - or distrust - the systems around them.
