Mamta Bajgain’s journey to Cincinnati commenced as a Bhutanese refugee at the age of 9, arriving through the United Nations resettlement program. The prospect of a new life filled with possibilities and the warm embrace of the Cincinnati community made the city a beacon of hope for her. Cincinnati, to Mamta, represented not just a change in location but a lifeline to a future where she could establish roots and nurture dreams.
I hope to see increased opportunities for immigrants to actively contribute to the region's growth, fostering a genuine sense of belonging and understanding. A community that truly values diversity, embraces different cultures, and provides immigrants with avenues not just to fit in but to shine would be an ideal scenario.
