Andrea Hope was born in the Bahamas, grew up in the Washington, D.C. area, went to college in Portland, served as a Baha'i missionary in Israel for six years, where she met her husband before moving to his hometown in Poland and having two kids.
Andrea also has a cool, cool podcast herself, called To Mother which you need to listen to, and you can do that here!
In this episode she talks about writing, maintaining a sense of self, being a first-time mom in a place where she doesn't speak the language (and no one speaks hers), and feeling like an outsider in the U.S. with both the African American and the white communities.
In a bonus hour of tape on Patreon, Andrea goes into great detail on the race issue.
She's fascinating, and while the audio is a bit rough thanks to a rough connection (satellite internet is the worst), the content is rich and deep.
I hope you enjoy!
On a sadder note, things are rough for podcasters across the board right now. According to Podcorn, who keeps tabs on all podcasts, downloads are down an average of five to seven percent this month. It's really bad, and disheartening as hell for those of us trying to get a podcast going in this environment.
I used to check my numbers every day, and seeing a steadily growing momentum kept me going.
To see that momentum crashing has tested me hard. But I've been quietly investigating my own motivations and passions for this project, and they're still alive. Damp, but alive. I want to personally thank every single person who's still listening, and say that I hope you're all well. You're keeping me going, and the support (in the form of downloads) is really, really appreciated and integral for me, and for all podcasters right now. So thank you. It really does mean the world.
