Her journey into her profession was inspired by her personal battles and desire to support the community. In this feature by Sinéad Mangan-Mc Hale, Farisai shares her views on Black History Month, honoring leaders like Loraine Masiya Mponela who fight tirelessly for migrant rights, and discusses why it’s crucial for migrants to tell their own stories.

https://lnkd.in/eVGvNc8i For refugees and migrants, the written word becomes a sanctuary. Read in this interview by Sinéad Mangan-Mc Hale with Danielle Maisano read how Exiledwriters champions our right to be heard, fostering freedom of expression in the face of displacement and adversity. Find tips on how Exiledwriters can support your writing, getting published and more about their events. Quote from Danielle: 'I believe that the power of literature is that it gives us access to experiences that would typically be beyond our reach. Through the literary skills of these writers, readers can share experiences, cultures, and insights that they might never otherwise have the opportunity. The stories can be harrowing and at times terrifying to even imagine, but it is essential that these experiences are shared'. #RefugeesWelcome #Stories #TGIUK #ExiledWriters
