In the last episode of our pilot series, we celebrate International Migrants Day by speaking to two of our ambassadors about what being a migrant means to them.
Ali and Eli interview Mimi who made the courageous and heart-wrenching decision to leave the Philippines ten years ago to work abroad so that she could support her family. What followed was an extraordinary and painful journey. Now as a survivor of modern-day slavery, she works with The Voice of Domestic Workers to empower other survivors to raise their voices and speak up for their rights. In this inspirational conversation, she shares openly about the struggles and opportunities that come with being a migrant.
IMIX media director, Julia then talks to the writer and founder of The Other Side of Hope literary magazine, Alex, about the significant impact which being a migrant has had on his life. They also discuss the latest edition of his literary magazine which amplifies the voices of refugees and migrants, and its potential to use the power of words to change hearts and minds.
Join us on Un/Documented for a meaningful conversation about what it means to be a migrant today #MigrantsDay #IAmAMigrant. The International Migrants Day Ambassador Programme is a partnership between IMIX and IOM UK. You can find out more about each of the ambassadors in their own words here.
