Episode 14 with Laya | Moving to America - Overcoming Struggles

In today’s episode I (Lizzy) was able to sit down with Laya and learn more about her incredible journey. Listen in to hear more about her experience moving to America: leaving behind everything she had ever know for “the dream” and understanding the tolls this took on her mental health. This paired with overcoming school struggles creates a narrative that many can relate to. I found her story extremely inspiring and hope that you enjoy listening.If you are a teen and have (or know a teen who has) a story to share, please reach out to us using the following link : http://Fcwi.org/interview.
