Here I am
13 years later
I've been part of a city's (New Orleans)' mass exodus from a natural disaster, interviewed Bobby Jindal (Louisiana Governor), experienced being snowed-in for a fortnight during the 2010 snow storm in U.S. eastern belt, I event learnt how to drive in the snow, albeit still a terrifying a experience!
Today I'm celebrating a plethora of colourful experiences. The stirring pot of hardship, loneliness, happiness, lifelong friendships, losses, gains, but above all love, strength, wisdom, humility and triumph.
My life in the diaspora is an eternally enriching journey, I wouldn't change a single moment of it.
What are your experiences of life in the diaspora?
Happy Migrating!
This blog is about my immigration journey - which began in the late-1990s - from Zimbabwe to the United States of America. I am sharing my experiences with the objective of helping individuals who, similarly to me, may find the immigration process impermeable. I am not an attorney and the contents of this blog do not constitute legal advice.
