Interlude Samir born in Mombasa, Kenya I was already 20, and it was like you had won the Golden Ticket, right? I had family and cousins here, so I kind of knew a bit about it, like it wasn’t “the streets were paved with gold” type of thing. You’ll have to work. My parents were born in Kenya and Tanzania during the colonial time, the British colonial time, so we were, I guess, second or third generation, and we were originally from Yemen. So growing up I was already an immigrant from birth.
