This interview is part of Beautiful World Festival’s storytelling series, which celebrates the real voices and experiences behind the cultures we see at our festival.
Beautiful World Festival is a family-friendly cultural festival that brings communities together through music, food, languages, and shared stories from around the world. We believe that understanding begins with listening—and that every person’s journey adds to the rich, diverse fabric of our local community.
By sharing stories like Mrs Chika Udezue’s, we explore the real questions people face when living between cultures: How do you belong? Should you adapt or stay true to your roots? What does it mean to feel at home in a new country?
Beautiful World Festival creates a welcoming space where these conversations happen naturally – where difference is celebrated, cultures connect, and everyone belongs. Join us to experience the world, right here in Dorset.
