From my perspective as a woman of color who believes in peace and reconciliation, and coming from a country with an 18-year civil war, I decided long ago that it is better to trust in hope and peace no matter how difficult a situation is. I came from a war-torn land and have permanent scars from my own experience. I live all the way up here in the North to escape. My life has not been easy and I learned that in spite of all the bad things, we need hope so we don’t get lost and that we must remain strong enough to endure the hardest of times. This series represents the emotions and the solidarity of immigrant women who come to this country and have to face the transitions of coming from one life, one culture, to another, and perhaps start all over.
