Suddenly what was previously good neighbors living in harmony started killing each other. Growing up, I felt I grew up in a melting pot of the world where almost every religion and background was living in harmony. After the war broke out, my community polarized along with the whole country, as it unstabilized in front of my eyes. Before I knew it we lived in fear, terror, and uncertainty to the point where I did not see any future for myself in the country I loved. I had to leave in fear of my security, and as a refugee, I felt even more powerless and lonely.

See how I found a new way to re-engage in the resistance through sharing my own feelings and experiences. Learn how this sparked a deep motivation to create a new life for myself while at the same time feeling connected and useful for the future of my country in the diaspora.
