07/06/22 • 44 min
Season 4 is HERE! YAY!!!
Warda is a Somali-American writer and in this week's episode, she is sharing with us the reality of her refugee experience in the USA.
Her journey has been challenging, full of barriers and losses, and at the same time, she has risen, healed, and developed resilience. She is a first-generation college student and she wrote a wonderful book where she shares her immigration journey!
What has helped Warda the most in her journey is being able to ask for help and connect with kind people that are willing to support her.
We all have so much to learn from Warda and her determination.
Thank you for joining us in another season!
