“Immigrating to the U.S. gave me space to step back from traditions and the intellectual space to
reflect on them with more clarity and purpose. My community initially believed my role should be
to marry and preserve our lineage, not to seek a degree.”
Lyvia Ehrhart

“As an immigrant’s daughter, I have come to love the opportunities given to me here in the United States. Due to my unique challenges, which I attribute primarily to my mother’s humble beginnings living in an orphanage for six years in Bulgaria, I have developed numerous values, including resilience, tremendous gratitude, cultural empathy, adaptability, and an aspiration to achieve my goals. With my upcoming hospitality management degree, I will secure a better life for myself and a better future for my family.”

I carry my son’s memory. I carry with me the lessons of a life lived between cultures and causes.”
Chimdindu Ugwuanyi

“My goal is not just personal success; it is to be a conduit of healing, advocacy, and opportunity for others.

The blueprint I am building now in the US will inform the systems I implement back home. In time, I hope to replicate this model across countries.”
