He didn’t reject the label “immigrant.” He rewrote what it means.

Not all immigrants

feel the same.


Dozie came to Canada

with dreams,

skills,

and a voice.


But

everywhere he turned,

they gave him a box:

"Newcomer."


That’s it.


That’s all.


As if one word

could explain

a thousand lived lives.


So he built a platform

not to escape the label,

but to expand it.


To show that

every immigrant

is more than a checkbox.


They are a constellation

of stories,

histories,

and hopes.


Think of culture like soup.


The best ones

aren’t made with one spice

they’re made with many.


That’s what Dozie believes

Canada can become:

a rich broth

of beautiful difference.


Now he helps others

find their voice.


Share their truth.


Build media that reflects

who they really are.


No filters.

No flattening.

Just fullness.


He doesn’t have all the answers.


But he knows the questions

are worth asking.


Do you agree all immigrants

prior experience should be officially

recognized?


I’d love to hear your thoughts.


Drop your thoughts below.


Give Dozie a follow to learn more about Canadian immigrants.
