Overview

Eleven women from around the globe unite to create this extraordinary international book project. These authors invite readers to walk a mile in their shoes and explore the world through their eyes. Eleven different cultures, different life experiences and trajectories, eleven different stories revealing the obstacles that many people and women in particular, face today. Each autobiography shows that despite their various backgrounds, these women all have one thing in common: circumstances have taken them from one part of the world to another. This compilation presents the multifaceted issues of migration; the challenges these women encountered and how they journeyed on in this life with humour and strength of spirit. Nadia Ho de Guill n initiated this project because she believes wholeheartedly in the importance of nurturing global peace and achieving clear communication through listening to and understanding each other. It is her hope that sharing personal stories from diverse life-journeys will help foster cross-cultural communication and ultimately reduce misunderstandings and conflicts.

Author Information

Nadia Ho de Guill n is Asian-born, European-raised, and Latin-American-spirited. She was born in Vietnam and moved to the Czech Republic with her family when she was a child. Belonging to the so-called banana generation, Nadia grew up simultaneously in two completely different worlds. Her adolescence was significantly marked by the racial prejudice ingrained within the Czech society and the gender stigmatization of the Vietnamese society. She is convinced that interpersonal connections are the most effective way to combat prejudice; most of the projects Nadia has been involved in are related to global citizenship awareness and education. She is a co-founder of the project Green Passport Goes Around the World which is committed to inspire Vietnamese youth toward becoming global citizens, and she is soon launching an online education platform that aims to bridge gaps between people across the globe and to bring them together on the same page. Nadia's dream is to see the world evolve to a point at which the way people are treated and perceived does not depend on the issuing country of their passport, the color of their skin, or the physical traits that they were born with, but rather on who they really are. .
