About the Show
Hey hey! I’m Lidet O’Connor, an Ethiopian adoptee, storyteller, and the person behind this podcast.
Growing up, I often felt alone with the weight of being adopted across cultures, countries, and expectations. But I also heard stories, our stories, that mirrored mine in deep, complex, and often painful ways.
This podcast started as a way to document those voices. And now, it’s become something more: a living, growing archive of Ethiopian adoptee experiences—across ages, languages, losses, and lives.
Here, I interview other Ethiopian adoptees and explore the themes that tie us together: identity, grief, belonging, race, return, and reclamation. Nothing’s too neat. Nothing’s too polished. That’s the point.
If you’ve ever felt alone in this process, know that you’re not. We gotchu. And we’re so glad you found your way here.
