Surviving and Thriving is a blog created for and by newcomer women. Through my writing, I hope to inspire and empower others, sharing my insights and personal stories. I believe that in sharing our challenges and approaches to those challenges, we can create a more supportive and connected community. By sharing our lived experiences, we can rise above the cultural and societal barriers. This blog is a safe space for newcomers to read and learn about our intersecting identities, and I aim to continue writing and sharing my experiences as a way to support, connect, and uplift our community.
