Stories Immigrants: Immigrant Women and World Events

stories immigrants: The editor of the 167-page book, Miriam Matejova, is a political science PhD candidate at the University of British Columbia, according to Metro News. Leaving one's country and settling in a new one is a frightening, emotionally difficult experience, she told Metro in an email. Published in April, Wherever I Find Myself includes a range of experiences all of them aimed at creating space for immigrant women in Canada to share their diverse and personal stories, according to a Facebook posting for an authors' reading in Vancouver on Tuesday evening. Immigrants seldom share theirs. One of the writers featured in the book, Roundhouse Radio producer Abeer Yusuf, told Metro that the anthology couldn't have come at a better time given world events. My vision was to have a collection of stories that exposes the immigrant experience as it truly is filled not only with hope and gratitude but also with the sense of loneliness, alienation and disconnection from one's old home.
