Shegitu Kebede: An African Refugee's Story
Shegitu Kebede, an African refugee living in the US, will be here Sunday, March 21, from 2:00- 3:30 PM to tell us her story. Shegitu will share her painful story about African women’s experiences during a war. Wars leave hidden scars and she will share sources of healing women use in order to keep on living and caring for their families.
Shegitu will also explain how refugees have a very different way of getting into our country than immigrants. When she arrived in the US as an African refugee, she was very courageous and industrious. She started a business in Minneapolis, authored two books, but never forgot her past.
This event is sponsored by Presbyterian Women and everyone is welcome to attend.
