The election is over, we’re on the other side. But this week, I’m not talking about the election or reflecting on what could have gone differently (I’ll leave that to other news outlets). Nope, I’m rolling up my sleeves and getting back to work highlighting another incredible Milwaukee woman. There is still work to be done, and there are women out there who are still doing it!
Women like this week’s guest, Bojana Zorić Martinez. Bojana is the Director of the Bureau of Refugee Programs with the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families, as well as the Wisconsin State Refugee Coordinator. And more personally, she was a refugee herself. But as she says in this episode, "Once a refugee always a refugee." Listen as we talk about the refugee experience in Wisconsin and the ways in which her own experience shaped her leadership around refugee resettlement in this state.
