"I have spent most of my life trying to rationalize to others why I and others like myself deserve a chance. Why should I have to do that? If the circumstances that led me to overachieve just to gain the bare minimum come from a colonial system based on eugenics, then why can we not also focus on destroying these narratives, perceptions, and standards for the forcibly displaced individuals entering the workforce in an increasingly globalized world." stated Daniela Alba, while reflecting on her journey of #displacement. We're honored to present a thought-provoking blog post by Daniela Alba, originally from #Bogota, #Colombia, and currently working in the fundraising and communications department of the Jesuit Refugee Service in #Rome, #Italy. In her blog, "Navigating Privilege: Redefining Labor in the Diaspora," Daniela reflects on her journey and challenges the narratives surrounding displaced individuals. She explores the systemic barriers the displaced individuals face, and emphasizes the need for creating dignified pathways for their integration into the workforce.
