In this the first episode of Tell Us A Story Athar Rafiq, Assistant Professor at Mount St. Mary’s University, chronicles his families’ journey as immigrants coming to the United States. We hear what the real costs are that are borne by those who immigrate from one country to another whether by choice or as refugees. History and family are left behind.
