Everyone should have a place to call home, feel safe, and trust the people in their lives. But what if you had to flee your country because of a civil war, your father was taken away to a concentration camp, and you had to hide to survive and not know if you would be killed? My guest today is a former refugee who was forced to flee her home country of Bosnia. After surviving a civil war, Nejra and her family were granted asylum as a refugee in the United States in 1996. She was able to overcome a great deal of adversity, including adapting to a new culture and building a new life.
