The Sigh at the Checkout Line

At the grocery store, my mom paid with EBT. The man behind us glanced at the screen and muttered, “So that’s where my taxes go.” She pretended not to hear and kept bagging food—milk, eggs, bread. Nothing extra. I understand why he’s angry. But without that bag, we wouldn’t have made it that week. #ImmigrationStories #SNAPDebate #TaxpayerVsImmigrant #EverydayAmerica

“Belonging Without a Country” How do you belong to a world that doesn’t belong to you? For years, I carried no passport, no citizenship — only stories, courage, and the hope of home. Stateless in Paradise is not just my journey; it’s for anyone who has ever felt invisible or misplaced, yet still believed in love and humanity. 🌍 Find it on Amazon and major bookstores. #RefugeeVoices #StatelessInParadise #ImmigrationStories #TravelMemoir
