Diary of a Naija Immigrant – Episode November 17, 2025

Season 2 Episode 8: From New Beginnings to Big Screens: Tomide’s Story

In this heart-to-heart conversation, I sit down with my incredible production assistant, Tomide Bamigboye, to unpack her remarkable immigration journey and the resilience that carried her from uncertainty to unbelievable film sets — yes, even Ghostbusters and more.

We dive into her growing list of film achievements, the grit behind each opportunity, and the quiet strength that has shaped her story.

But this episode goes deeper. Together, we reflect on our own working relationship — the trust, the respect, the learning — and why it’s so important for employers and employees alike to honor each other’s humanity. No hierarchies. No ego. Just mutual respect and room for everyone to thrive.

If you love stories of perseverance, purpose, and partnership, this one’s for you. Tune in and be inspired.
