I traveled to the States for about a year and a half, and I did elementary and middle school there. But most of my schooling was in Zimbabwe. Then in 2003, when I finished high school, I moved to Brisbane, Australia.  \nI think in Zimbabwe, most of the time, when your parents can afford for you to do university or any additional education, they send you out of the country because the University of Zimbabwe is prone to student riots and student dissatisfaction with the system – a lot of financial issues and  \ncorruption, etcetera. Because of that, a lot of the year, not a lot of education takes place. This was especially true when I had finished high school, it was even more tumultuous at that time. And a lot of the other, smaller universities or polytechnical colleges, they do not translate very well internationally.  \nMy parents were like,“If we can afford to send you out, we’ll send you out. Your brother’s already in Australia, so why don’t you go to Australia?” My brother was in Melbourne already; however, I opted on Brisbane because it’s a lot more relaxed and it’s more me than the other cities. I hadn’t visited Brisbane before then, but from the description of the agent who was doing our transfer, I think I liked the chilled vibe that she described.  \nSo this agent got commission from certain universities, Griffith being one of them. She would say,“Griffith is the best, blah blah blah,” which didn’t end up being the case. It wasn’t really what I was expecting. I wanted a relaxed lifestyle, but not in the middle of a forest. I don’t know if I’m going to live or die because not even Africa’s like this. But I really appreciated coming to Brisbane because when I visited Melbourne, I just didn’t feel like that was a place that I could call home.  \n* * * *  \nA lot of the South Africans that move to Australia are running away from the trouble that “the black people have with crime and violence”, so they want to come to a place where there are no/ few black people, and they want to come to Australia – it’s the promised land. So when South Africans think of Australia, it’s where the racists go to live.  \nA lot of South Africans end up in Perth, so when you speak to the South Africans in Perth – they are white South Africans, in general – they give you a very skewed perspective of what South Africa is like. Their experience and interpretation of what’s happening in South Africa will be very different to possibly ours or another black South African’s interpretation.  \nI’m also just amazed how Australia exists in a bubble; people feel like they can avoid topics. Like, how in the climate of the world do you avoid talking to your kids about race or how is it not a topic of discussion, seeing that there’s so many people that are moving to Australia. My mind boggles. Like, oh, it’s too hard to talk about. Let’s talk about Bluey.  \n* * * *  \nWhen I first started nursing, I was very oblivious to a lot of accounts of racism in my youth. I was like, oh, that’s nothing. I couldn’t see it. Then I moved to South Africa and I met Masimba and he taught me to see how big and bad and ugly some things were.  \nDeparture | Sisi  1  \nIn nursing, you see that there are a lot of international nurses. You have your Filipinos, you have a lot from Hong Kong, China, from all over. And then you start to look at the registered nurses. And then you look at the clinical nurses. They’re starting to get paler in colour, less diversity. And then you look for the nurse unit managers, who manage the wards, and they’re mostly white, if not all white. And then you start to look at the ones above, who are now going into nursing administration, and it’s all white. So you can see that there is a hierarchy. I don’t know if it’s partly because if you’re from a different background, all you want to do is work, support your family and go home. You don’t necessarily want to k","cbCaijyotV77LkY9","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijyotV77LkY9","pdf",139831,"English","# Departure | Sisi 1\n## Education, migration, and belonging\n## Nursing hierarchy and racism","[{\"question\":\"Why does the narrator say many people in Zimbabwe are sent abroad for further education?\",\"answer\":\"They describe a belief that parents who can afford it send children out because the University of Zimbabwe is seen as prone to riots and dissatisfaction, alongside financial and corruption issues.\"},{\"question\":\"What disappointment does the narrator express about moving to Brisbane for university?\",\"answer\":\"They expected a relaxed lifestyle but not an isolated setting, and they contrast their feelings about Brisbane with not feeling that Melbourne could be “home.”\"},{\"question\":\"How does the narrator explain workplace diversity in nursing and leadership roles?\",\"answer\":\"They describe a visible hierarchy where diversity appears in international and registered nurses, but management and administration positions are mostly or entirely white, suggesting limited opportunity and constrained career pathways.\"}]","Sisi-Letter - Departure | Sisi 1 | PDF",1792227246]
