Last year, I had the opportunity to interview the mighty Nina Santos. Our beautiful conversation spanned many topics. Nina shared her experiences growing up in the Philippines, when her father worked overseas to support her family until she (alongside her mum and younger brother) could immigrate with him to Aotearoa New Zealand. We discussed immigration, feeling like an “outsider”, a work ethic born out of wanting to make her parents proud, imposter syndrome, and ultimately realising that one’s identity is more than what they do for work. We even managed to cover some iconic TV shows along the way. I hope you’ll enjoy our conversation as much as I did.
