In this episode, Lhen, a Filipino woman who arrived in Buckshaw Village in 2021, shares her story as the main breadwinner of a big family with 12 siblings. Lhen moved from a small town in Mindoro to Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, where she worked in the fashion industry and, eventually, met the man she fell in love with and married. After many years in Dubai, the couple decided to relocate to the UK where they developed their own kitchen design business, Eden Kitchen Design. New to this part of the world and without any friends, Lhen used social media to get in touch with other Filipino mums who live in the local area and created a growing network, the Filipino Community in Lancashire.
