ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Glory’s story is about seeking asylum in a country she has lived in over half her life.
As an asylum seeker, Glory thought that her life had taken a turn for the better when she and her family arrived in the UK, but over time she felt had to keep a part of her identity hidden for fear of not being able to trust anyone, and potentially being sent back to Nigeria.
Since she was seven Glory has lived her life with no official status and finding herself grappling with the feeling of not only not belonging, but also being stigmatised and perceived as undeserving of living in a safer environment – the country she now calls home. Glory has spent years living with this secret but now she wants to share her story and have more open conversations about the experiences of young people who face immigration.
