About this listen
At 10 years old, everything changed.
In this episode of Beneath the Surface, DeJay Lester shares the next chapter of his story - leaving Nigeria and coming to America, where life looked better on the outside… but felt completely different on the inside.
From culture shock and identity struggles to feeling lost in school and misunderstood, this episode captures the emotional reality of starting over in a new country at a young age.
This isn’t just about moving locations - it’s about losing a sense of identity and trying to rebuild it in an unfamiliar world.
This episode explores:
• The transition from Nigeria to America
• Culture shock and early identity struggles
• School challenges and feeling out of place
• Emotional moments that shaped everything that followed
Just when it seemed like things might settle… life took another turn.
🎙️ Hosted by DeJay Lester
