Join us as we sit down with Khannaw Mohammed Ismael to hear her powerful story of migration and the challenges she faced along the way. Khannaw is a valued team member with Dr. Rice.

In 2009, Khannaw fled Iraq in search of a better life, but her journey to America was far from easy. From navigating the complex immigration system to adapting to a new culture, Khannaw faced many obstacles. But through it all, she never gave up and secured her citizenship in 2014. Listen in as Khannaw shares her story of perseverance and the lessons she learned about strength, resilience, and the American Dream. This is a story that will resonate with anyone who has ever had to overcome adversity and chase their dreams.
