The Dark Side of Immigrating | Mario Cerda Cornejo
"My British dream became a nightmare."
Hello, I'd really like to grow this email list. If you enjoy this newsletter, it would mean the world to Jola and I if you encouraged one friend/fellow immigrant/colleague to subscribe…Very likely, the the only thing you will get in return is warm fuzzy feelings, and if I can attribute it to you, I’d personally send you a thank you email.
Immigrating to a new country is a chance to start again.
A chance to aim for a better life. But we don’t talk enough about the dark side of starting afresh.
The struggle to find a job. The self-doubt. The depression. The mental exhaustion that comes from code-switching.
Grateful to Mario Cerda Cornejo for sharing this deeply personal story with us.
