After giving birth to her first child while being a refugee, Borjana decided to leave her beloved country to give a better future for her child. Five years and many applications later, she managed to emigrate to the United States. In the US, she was able to finish a medical geography degree, which she used to understand her country’s locality.
In 2017 Borjana went back to her country to conduct a research study with the refugees. There, she was welcomed by overwhelming stories of people who need help and hope. This moment kept Borjana motivated to spread awareness to the world and be a means to bring help to her fellow citizens.
