In this episode of Min Hon: Stories That Belong, we hear from Neela, a migrant worker from Sri Lanka who has lived in Jordan for 12 years. Neela reflects on her journey as a domestic worker, the challenges of separation from family, and the resilience it takes to build a life far from home. She shares how traditions like Kandyan dance and Independence Day celebrations connect her to her daughter Shanika, and how love and dignity are carried across borders through memory, art, and perseverance.

Min Hon: Stories That Belong is a podcast where migrant voices take center stage. Each episode highlights lived experiences, sheds light on labor migration and rights, and amplifies the voices of those working to build belonging and recognition in Jordan.
