On Monday, February 24th , the Rotary Club of Florence will have the pleasure of hearing from Mirsada Kadiric, author of “I Am a Refugee: Finding Home Again in America.”
Mirsada was born in Bosnia and immigrated to the United States as a war refugee in the summer of ’98 when she was sixteen years old. Not speaking the English language, and unfamiliar with the American culture, Mirsada 
struggled to adjust to her new high school environment. She managed to graduate with honors and chose to attend Northern Kentucky University where she further excelled and landed in the Market Research industry where she still works to this day. In 2016, she began volunteering her time serving the needs of the refugee population in the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky region by serving as President of Refugee Connect, and in 2018, Mirsada released her first book, titled “I Am a Refugee: Finding Home Again in America”. The book is a memoir reflecting her personal story. She wanted this book to serve as a voice for refugees around the world who are struggling to find a place they can call home again.
Guests are always welcome.
