Resettled

Our podcast on refugee resettlement wrapped this time last year. We checked back in with Hamidullah Noori, a poet and restaurant-owner, and our host, Ahmed Badr, to hear about the big changes they've experienced during the pandemic.
  • What is it like to build a career, only to have to start again completely from scratch? It took years, but Dadi Neopaney worked his way back to having a rewarding career in the United States.
  • To be a refugee, you have to have experienced trauma, which deeply affects a person’s health.
  • For many refugee families, one of the primary motivators for moving is to improve their children’s lives through access to education. But once they move to a new country and culture, what does academic success look like?
  • Our first episode follows the LahPai family through the first 90 days of their resettlement in the U.S. Though their arrival was highly anticipated and their IRC staff member worked tirelessly to provide them with a strong foundation, the LahPai family arrived just in time for Thanksgiving ... to a house with no heat.
