When a Gambian leaves for the diaspora, does that automatically mean they’ve “made it”?
In this episode of M&M Beyond Words, we unpack the growing expectations placed on Gambians living abroad and even those who are doing well right here at home. From constant requests for money to the belief that having a good job means you should provide a “soft life” for everyone around you, we ask an uncomfortable question:
When does family support become entitlement?
We talk about love, family responsibility, financial pressure, boundaries, the realities of life in the diaspora, and whether social media has created unrealistic expectations about what life abroad is really like.
Because helping your family is beautiful. But nobody should be made to feel guilty for setting boundaries.
Is it our culture of togetherness, or have we taken it too far?
