Description

My guest for Episode 2 is the amazing and charismatic Tifa!  I will let her introduce herself: <br/><br/>&quot;My name is Tifa, I&apos;m a Southern belle from North Carolina. I&apos;m from the area that makes it a swing state, where we believe in hospitality, good food, and a run in with the wrong feller can have ya walking off with a lot less pride and a bloody nose. I&apos;m the girl that you&apos;d never expect to meet in NC. I was the only black, gothic, atheist living in a 100 mile radius of the sweet tea loving -bible belt state and was ready for change. I&apos;d always been a dream chaser and I figured I&apos;d waited long enough. I said goodbye to my home and to my people. I walked away from everything I knew, my family, the country of &quot;opportunity&quot;, and found myself in a world I never expected to find. Following the scent of my dreams, I landed in Asia where Japan took me in and loved me kinder than any nation had ever loved me before. I stripped off my ego, stepped off the ledge of fear, let go.... And got sucked into the warmth of the Land of the Rising Sun. I hope you enjoy my story.&quot; <hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
