These women have faced discrimination, racism, misogyny, and all kinds of challenges that people of color encounter. Their dreams were dashed, and their needs were often undermined and/or dismissed. Life seemed a daily battle against known and unknown barriers and limitations imposed on them by society. Not forgetting that they had to deal with immigration, studies, wife and/or parental duties, and they thought the grass was greener in the UK...
But all is not lost -- despite the seemingly insurmountable obstacles they have faced over time, awkward secrets, and cultural blind spots of society, their journeys show that how you respond to life's challenges determines your altitude as an immigrant.
