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. 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 langauge (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!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/twomomsdaydrinking)
