Born and raised in the UK, I had always taken for granted the ease with which I could navigate the world. Surrounded by people whose lives were shaped by the challenges of obtaining visas, I observed how these struggles influenced their mindset and the choices available to them, from work opportunities to holidays. It was a reality that, at the time, seemed distant from my own.
Now, residing in San Francisco, I find myself on the other side of the story. This shift in perspective has been eye-opening, offering a deeper understanding of the complexities and hurdles faced by those dealing with visa issues. It's a reminder of the privileges I once overlooked and the diverse experiences that shape our worldviews.
