In the latest episode of the Dohzy Kona podcast, we open up an honest and essential dialogue about the financial realities of the diaspora community in Canada. From decoding the Canadian credit system to navigating cultural expectations around money, these challenges are real—but so are the solutions.
If you’ve ever felt lost or isolated trying to manage your finances in a new country, you’re not alone. And more importantly, you’re not without support.
What We Covered in This Episode
This episode dives deep into some of the most pressing financial concerns for newcomers, immigrants, and first-generation Canadians, especially those from African, Caribbean, and diasporic backgrounds:
Understanding the Canadian Financial System
We break down how credit scores, taxes, and financial institutions work—so you can navigate them with confidence.
Honoring Your Roots While Adapting Financially
There’s often a tension between traditional financial values from back home and new systems in Canada. We talk about how to bridge that gap without losing your cultural identity.
The Power of Community
Financial empowerment doesn’t have to be a solo journey. We explore how community networks, mutual aid, and open conversations can create lasting change.
Join the Conversation
This episode isn’t just about sharing facts—it’s about building empathy, connection, and real solutions. At Dohzy, we believe in creating space for the conversations we need to have—not just the ones we’re used to
