​​I’m Nancy Mulemwa Siisii. Nice to meet you!​I created this community so that immigrants from all over the world can draw inspiration from our own stories that we share individually and collectively so that none of us feel alone. ​Our superpower is that we dream. No one can tell your story as it is unique to you. I believe you have something to give by using your voice to empower and uplift those who arrive after you as we honor the journey of those who came before.​​​The day I realized I was a dreamer, I was a young girl in the countryside of Zambia who would later migrate to New York City. I’ve been right where you are - tired and sick of being tired of dried fish meals my grandmother prepared for my sisters and I while my mother traded goods by traveling to different countries to supply local wholesalers. ​My mother gave me the first glimpse of what opportunities come with a strong work ethic. When she asked me what I was daydreaming, I expressed the deep desire to travel to America and she made it possible for me to live my dream.
