Nominations for Boston #StandsWithImmigrants

Last November, I supported the Boston #StandsWithImmigrants project, which is an amazing public art project using projected light and photography to celebrate immigrants in Boston. Here‘s what I wrote at the time. As part of my support, I was able to nominate someone to be celebrated with the project.

Today, I nominated U-Meleni Mhlaba-Adebo, who emigrated from Zimbabwe. I’ve met U-Meleni a few times; I know her husband better. I nominated U-Meleni because of her storytelling; here she tells the story of her immigration. I can’t embed the video on this page; it’s worth the click-through:
