For many immigrant families, it changes how you parent, how you build community, how your children experience home, and how you create stability when everything around you keeps changing. In this episode of Mom-Versations: As Told By Canadian Immigrants, Kristina McPherson sits down with Dr. Suzanne Davis to talk about raising children across countries, rebuilding community, staying rooted in identity, and creating family stability through change. After moving between Jamaica, Germany, New York, Canada, and South Africa, Dr. Davis shares what she has learned about motherhood, faith, routines, caregiving, diplomacy, and building a village wherever life takes you. This conversation is for aspiring immigrants researching life in Canada, newcomers already navigating settlement, immigrant mothers, first-generation Canadians, and families trying to understand what it really takes to start over. Whether you are thinking about moving to Canada, recently arrived on a study permit or work permit, working toward PR, or rebuilding your family life after immigration, this episode offers a deeper look at the emotional and practical side of building stability in Canada. From family dinners and veggie nights to knocking on neighbours’ doors with Jamaican treats, this episode is a reminder that stability is not always found in one place. Sometimes, stability is built through love, identity, routine, faith, community, and intentional connection. Our mission here at As Told By Canadian Immigrants is to share honest conversations about immigration, identity, family, rebuilding, and what it really means to start over in Canada.
