My Accent My Voice

society, culture · EN

My Accent, My Voice is a podcast about the stories we carry in our voices. Hosted by Peggy Doughan, the show explores accent discrimination, identity, belonging, and the immigrant experience through honest conversations with people from across Africa in PEI. Each episode challenges the idea that some accents are seen as more intelligent, professional, or acceptable than others, while celebrating the languages, cultures, and histories that shape the way we speak. This is a space for truth, reflection, and reclaiming the power of our voices—because an accent is not a barrier; it is a story. My Accent, My Voice is proudly supported by the Government of Prince Edward Island’s Anti-Racism Microgrant Program, which helps make these conversations possible and amplifies diverse voices across our communities.
