Buba: Starting over with heart.

In this episode, we hear from Buba. Born in Russia, raised in Guinea, and then back to Russia before arriving in the U.S., Buba has spent his life adapting, learning new languages, cultures, and ways of starting over. Through it all, he has remained a natural leader: someone who lifts others up with honesty, humor, and heart.

Buba shares what it’s like to live in the U.S. as an immigrant, the people who helped him along the way, and the deep sense of gratitude that fuels his dream to study and give back. Despite the challenges he’s faced, Buba never let hardship dim his kindness.

This is a story about using your strengths to help others, about finding purpose through change, and about the kind of quiet leadership that leaves a lasting impact.
