As a Bosnian ex-refugee, I can say with absolute conviction that I am no stranger to pain. My native country, Bosnia and Herzegovina, suffered the most brutal genocide since World War II. We were left to fend on our own as the United Nations and NATO did not do much to defend my people. They backstabbed us with false promises and inaction. In addition to having negative experiences as a refugee and immigrant, I am also a bullying survivor. Some people did not want to spare my family from pain because they thought that it was important to point out how inferior we were to them because of our circumstances and background. Pride, passion, and persistence are a powerful combination for success. They contribute to the development of personality and to the skillset of an individual by defining what is important to them. It is crucial to have a clear vision and to refine one's goals. I Am Proud presents different aspects of pride that I have attained over the course of my life. It is a raw, genuine, and real look into trauma and triumph, anger and ambition, and chaos and clarity. I hope that it inspires you to dream big!
