🌍 Welcome to the very first episode of Diaries of a Polyglot!

In this origin story, I share the winding, multilingual road that led to Diaries of a Polyglot. From childhood surrounded by music and stories, to language loss and reclamation, to solo adventures in Brazil, Ghana, and beyond—this episode is a love letter to curiosity, culture, and how language shapes identity.

You’ll hear how a grandmother-figure from my chosen family sparked my love for Spanish, why re-learning Twi became healing, and how teaching myself Portuguese during lockdown changed everything.

It’s personal, a little nostalgic, and full of heart.
