In this special episode of Nyuki Podcast, we had the privilege to be interviewed by Walter Gallacher. Mr. Gallacher began his thirty-year career in higher education teaching adults on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. He spent most of his career with Colorado Mountain College where he was the Director of Marketing and more recently the Dean of Students. Since his retirement in 2005, he has been producing "Immigrant Stories," a radio program, podcast and oral history project that is gathering the recollections of immigrants who have settled in western Colorado.

Throughout this episode, we dove deeper into the untold stories of our lives, the obstacles that our families endured in our native countries, and the events that happened to force us to live and resettle in the USA. Mr. Gallacher was the interviewer on our show. This was the first time both of us talked about those personal life events publicly.

We hope that many of our fellow immigrants/refugees who are here and experienced similar stories can come forward to share their stories with the rest of us. Many of us still have the post-trauma from our past and the things we experienced in our earlier age. The goal of this interview was to share our story and also to encourage many to seek help or counseling to overcome some of the past dilemmas.

A special thank you to Mr. Gallacher and all of our viewers and listeners for continuing support. Make sure to subscribe to our channel.
