Welcoming w/ Rachel Perić

Attribution with Bob McKinnon

Rachel Perić is Executive Director of Welcoming America. Inspired by her family’s refugee story and by the worldwide movement of welcomers, Rachel works to create communities where all residents – including immigrants and refugees – can thrive and belong. We talked about her own personal journey, the important work of her organization and how we as a country are doing to live up to our ideals of welcoming. I hope you enjoy it.
