For the podcast, I interviewed Lina Abdulnoor, with the intention of exploring the intricacies of refugeehood by analyzing Lina’s refugee experience. Lina lived in Iraq with her family until they began receiving death threats due to their religious beliefs. Convinced that they needed to flee the country to survive, they left Iraq as refugees. After leaving Iraq, they settled in Jordan, where they waited two years until the U.N. to approve their request to move to the U.S. in 2012. Lina and her family initially settled in Virginia, where she experienced culture shock as she adapted to American culture and the English language. However, Lina did not feel accepted in Virginia; her experiences in the state led her to think that Americans treated her according to negative stereotypes of Iraqis. After living in Virginia for several months, Lina and her family chose to resettle in San Diego, California, which harbored a larger Iraqi population than Virginia did. Supported by San Diego’s Iraqi community and various refugee organizations, Lina flourished, and she currently studies at UCSD while holding a stable job.

During Farah’s lifetime, more people than ever wanted to emigrate from the Afghanistan to the U.S because of the atrocities the taliban committed against it’s own people. However, with the increase of U.S immigration restrictions after 9/11, many whom wanted to immigrate from could not.

“Have you ever felt that someone sees you, completely understands you and yet loves you anyway”(Mogahed); however some people do the complete opposite. I can agree on what she said, about god loving us regardless of what we done in the past or simply who we are. But a lot of times many of us may stop talking to a you or liking you because you show your true identity, like in Dalia case showing her head jamb to others. You know who your real friends are if they are with you through your ups and downs. Dalia friends didn’t like the idea of her wearing that head jamb on her head, which cause her to lose many of her friends. In reality there are very few people you can rely on. It’s hard to find people who not only understands you, but will also
