In Collaboration with UNHCR Austria, and through honest, moving conversations between myself and UNHCR, each episode sheds light on different stages of my experience—from the terrifying decision to leave my home, to navigating asylum procedures, to rebuilding a life in Austria.

But this is not just my story. It’s a window into the challenges, misconceptions, and resilience shared by millions of refugees around the world. The series dives deep into legal definitions, gendered experiences, integration struggles, and what it means to find belonging far from home. It confronts stereotypes, highlights the untold contributions of refugees, and ends with a hopeful look toward the future.

At its core, this series is a reminder: nobody plans to become a refugee. But when people are forced to flee, they deserve safety, dignity, and a chance to start again.
