Your story is one of hard work and beauty in your journey to a work of compassion and care for the immigrant. The inspiration of your mother who was an immigrant lives on; now all who come within the shadow of your influence
I am remembering a Joyce Nwankwo (Joyce being the American name she chose) who came to Virginia for her education. We were privileged to be a host family for her during that first year of adjustment to our community. Does she happen to be part of your family?

I am impressed and encouraged that we have someone like you doing a great job out there. Holding everything into one space. Your resilience and thoughtfulness re-stories those stories out there. Thank you!

You inspired me today, Ral, through the story told here and accessible in the Thrive Global link. What a remarkable journey of walking with families in difficult times! And the words you used to describe your mother – “Strong, Passionate, Driven, Brilliant and Successful, yet compassionate, humble, and beautiful inside and out” – are evident in your own life and work as well. She lives on through you.
