Welcome to the first episode of Limitless Journeys - the African Immigrant Podcast with Maura Clotilde and David Bulindah. Join us as they embark on a journey of inspiration, education, and entertainment as they share their immigrant experiences.
Maura Clotilde shares her upbringing in Kenya, from her early years in Thika to her adolescent years in Nakuru. At 15, Maura made the life-changing decision to relocate to the United States where she faced formidable challenges, particularly with language barriers during her high school years in Delaware. However, her transition to Washington sparked a newfound love for nature, leading her to cultivate flowers and eventually delve into farming in King County.

With a background as a mental health therapist, David Bulindah's narrative unfolds against the backdrop of Nakuru in the Rift Valley province of Kenya. Born into a large family, David grew up in modest circumstances, engaging in farming to, quite literally, put food on the table. Despite economic hardships, David and his family persevered, eventually establishing themselves as farmers in the USA.

Maura Clotilde and David Bulindah's journey to establishing a farming community in Washington is a testament to their resilience and community spirit. Fueled by their passion for agriculture, mental health, youth and a desire to create opportunities for themselves and fellow immigrants, they embarked on the ambitious endeavor of cultivating a plot of land at Highland College. With determination and hard work, they transformed the space into a thriving gardening plot, cultivating crops and a sense of belonging and camaraderie among the immigrant community. Through their organization, Wakulima USA (meaning "farmers" in Swahili), they grew vegetables and a supportive network that empowered immigrants to pursue their agricultural aspirations in their new home in the USA.
