TV show on Regina's Access Network - Hopes to Help Newcomers Navigate Life in Canada

There's a new talk show in Regina and it is hosted by four proud immigrant women. 

AnotherView 
is the name of the show and it is on Access TV on Fridays in Regina.

The show is a window into the lives of Canadian immigrants and a platform for sharing inspiring stories.

Ejike, an information security professional and one of the hosts, got the idea for the show when she realized there was no one like her on local television programming. 

"I heard stories of how people were actually struggling. The idea was actually conceived in 2018, after my family and I went through some things," EjIke said. "It made us think about if other families were going through this, and who were they talking to?"  

The women on the show are originally from Nigeria, but they say the issues discussed are relevant to all immigrants.  They also say each one of them brings a unique perspective and life experience. Their ages span three decades and their careers are very different.  

The show has touched on many topics, including the struggles of fitting into a new community, raising children, romance and interracial relationships.

It also features a segment called "Charity Spotlight" where the hosts interview representatives from local charitable organizations and non-profits. The show's producer, Victor Ejike, is especially proud of this segment. "The purpose of this is dual-pronged. One is to let our audience learn about the charity and the resources they provide and the second is to promote the valuable work charities do in our community," Victor Ejike said.

The show has been met with rave reviews. The hosts have been receiving messages from viewers from all over the country and abroad letting them know that the show makes them feel seen.
