Julieta Diaz on The Immigrant Journey
When Julieta unexpectedly gained admission and scholarships to come for her masters in Canada, she knew there had to be a higher purpose in this because this was not what she originally wanted. Even though she got frustrated with her studies barely two months into the program, she remembered her "why" and stuck through despite the loneliness and ego crush she experienced. In the years following her graduation, she has experienced more challenges, including a health challenge that resulted from what she calls "a silly accident" but she remains in Canada, staying focused on her goals despite the detours on her way. In this heartfelt chat, Julieta allows us to walk a mile in her shoes as she shares, the lessons she has learnt both from her own experience and those of other immigrants she has worked with.

She calls on all immigrant communities as well as host communities to work together to eliminate barriers to immigrants' success, as it benefits everyone.
