This week I talk with high school senior Eman, who moved to the US less than a year ago. We talk about how she dealt with leaving her friends and family behind in Sudan and again in Egypt, where she lived for five years. She talks about the uncertainty of being at the mercy of resettlement organizations, and her desire not to be 'otherized' in her new home. Eman's confidence and resilience, which led to her being elected class president only a few months after arriving in this country, are truly inspiring.
