A Refugee's Journey: Understanding the Power of Storytelling in Uniting Communities with Drocella Mugorewera
In this powerful episode of Soundbit’s podcast, Kim Groshek sits down with Drocella Mugorewera, a refugee and advocate, to discuss the transformative power of welcoming refugees and immigrants into our communities. Drocella shares her personal journey of being separated from her children for two years after fleeing persecution, and the emotional challenges she faced as she adapted to life in America. She emphasizes the importance of faith, kindness, and storytelling in uniting people across cultures, and how we can all play a part in supporting refugees. Through this heartfelt conversation, listeners will gain a deeper understanding of what refugees experience and how we can offer more than just refuge — we can offer compassion, connection, and a sense of belonging.
