In this special episode to mark World Refugee Day 2021, I had the pleasure of sitting down with the UNCHR Canada’s Representative, Rema Jamous Imseis. We talked about the global pandemic, refugee issues across the world and in Canada, as well as about the incredible resilience of people seeking refugee protection. 

Plus, she answered the two questions I love to ask my guests: what would you say to those who speak negatively about refugees and what inspires you to keep going?

It was a wide-ranging interview and I’m hugely grateful that Rema took the time out of her incredibly busy schedule to talk so frankly to with me for the podcast. 

I hope you’ll give it a listen and be thankful for organizations like the UNHCR that do so much for displaced people.
