This week on Mosaics, we hear from four storytellers about their journeys of displacement to becoming an American. Tune in to learn more about Idaho's resettlement history, hear firsthand accounts from storytellers representing Ukraine, Afghanistan, Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda, and experience the cultural heritages they continue to carry with them as they contribute to the American experiment. Featured storytellers include Alla Aguilar and Tom Kanon (mother and son), Yasmin Aguilar, and Ezra ‘Kevin’ Irankunda. Ernestine, a high school student in Boise, performed an opening song in Kinyarwanda. Boise City Council Member Jimmy Hallyburton presented an opening message, and Mosaics host Holly Beech shared about the resettlement history and trends in Idaho. This event was presented by the City of Boise on June 4 in partnership with the Idaho Office for Refugees and hosted at JUMP, part of the City of Boise's America 250 series. This episode was recorded live and produced by SB Studios.

Andrea Schmutz, who moved to the U.S. from the Philippines at age 18, is the founder of Empowering Immigrant Women in Pocatello, Idaho. She is also an educator and pursuing a doctorate degree in educational leadership. Andrea was recently named Miss Idaho for America Strong with the platform of Education Beyond Boundaries, which encourages immigrant women and single mothers to get a formal education so they can help themselves in whatever circumstances they might face. Andrea in recent years became a single mother herself, and the tight-knit community supports each other through life's challenges. Andrea, a pianist, is putting on a concert this spring to raise money for Education Beyond Boundaries and fund her trip to the national Miss America Strong competition in August. Learn more here about how to support her and visit the Empowering Immigrant Women website to connect with Andrea. You can hear her first Mosaics interview from December 2023 in episode 25.
