Shappi Khorsandi Instagram – Think you will never be a refugee? My family didn’t either. Yet we were. It’s not something anyone plans.
I’m delighted to be a part of ‘Refugees Reframed’ It’s a privilege to be photographed alongside ten other refugees who are rebuilding their stolen lives in the face of adversity. I was a young child and know the aching heartache of exile as well as the practical struggles, as my parents rebuilt our lives while displaced and disoriented. I felt incredible kindness towards us, but also saw how an attitude which often dismissed and derided my parents because their English was not fluent or they did not ‘fit in’. Such things leave an indelible mark on children. I’m proud to be a part of an initiative to reshaping narratives.
“No one chooses to be a refugee and I hope that through the image, we can rewrite the refugee story and build a world that embraces the courage and contributions of all its people who are rebuilding their lives in a new land, and in a new language’ @migranthelpuk
