Have you ever heard of a term called "acculturation"? According to its definition, it refers to the process by which an individual or group adopts the practices and values of one culture while still retaining their own culture of origin. Today, we're looking into this concept in the lens of an Iraqi American who refuged with her family from Iraq to Syria, and then the United States for a better future, Rana Issa. Being granted with a citizenship or a visa to live in another country doesn't render anyone immune to immigration-related stressors. It's such a great experience to hear Rana's stories as a child of immigrant - her childhood, challenges, and learning lessons she's gathered throughout her life. This episode is not to be missed!
