Julia Trujillo Luengo, originally from Spain, was interviewed earlier this summer (NMS 145) regarding her own story. She returned to the program to talk about Welcome Week, (Sept 15-24, 2017) which is part of a national movement coordinated by Welcome America. It celebrates the contribution of immigrants within unique communities around the country. Julia, the Director of Portland's Office for Economic Opportunity, highlights three offerings in Portland this year:
Map of the World (interactive art in City Hall's rotunda)
Naturalization Ceremony
USCIS Information Sessions held around Portland.
Julia also noted that Catholic Charities will be offering City Employees the program called "In Their Shoes", an empathy and awareness building corporate training regarding refugees.
