Back in September 2021, I had a conversation with Ryhana Manji and her mother, Rubab Hassanali. This is a story of overcoming adversity. The family left Uganda and ended up in New York via Rome. All lives changed as a result of the expulsion. However, the impact was most acutely felt by the women, who had to adjust to a completely new life. “We never spoke about what happened to us as a community and I feel that was a really big mistake. That is a big lesson for the future.”
