What do you do when you are dealt bad cards? Do you stop and give up or continue and make something out of what you have? In this episode, I share my life story taking you back to the village where I was born and refugee camp where I spent time before immigrating to America.

My journey at 17, with little formal education and very limited English skills, is a testament to pure resilience. I share how early adversities shaped my perspective and prepared me for the challenge of adapting to life in a new country. This episode is a heartwarming tribute to the courage and hope that define the immigrant experience.
