I Am a Refugee

There are 64 million refugees in the world today, individuals who are often invisible to us. Multimedia artist Ifrah Mansour read her poem “I AM A REFUGEE” at Twin Cities World Refugee Day, where these portraits were taken. In it she calls for greater acceptance and understanding. “Won’t you just let me find my humanity right here next to you?”
