In this final episode of The Native Experience podcast, we’re joined by Rana Ebrahimi, National Manager of the Multicultural Youth Advocacy Network (MYAN).

Rana shares her journey from working with UNHCR in Iran to advocating for the rights of young people from refugee and migrant backgrounds in Australia. With a wealth of experience in humanitarian aid, multiculturalism, and social inclusion, Rana discusses the evolving challenges of bridging generational and cultural divides in today’s diverse society.

In our conversation we discuss how trauma and cultural shifts shape intergenerational gaps in migrant families; the rise of “third cultures” among second-generation migrants and their impact on identity; and Practical strategies for fostering dialogue between generations and leveraging cultural intelligence.

Join us to explore the complexities of cultural preservation, generational connections, and building a more inclusive society.
