On this episode, we speak to a remarkable young woman, Foni Vuni! 

Foni was born and raised in Kenya to South Sudanese parents. Her parents fled South Sudan in 1991 due to the break out of the civil war. Foni’s father was keen to ensure her and her four younger siblings stayed grounded and in direct connection with their home country.

Being raised in Kenya and branded a refugee wasn’t always easy for Foni. But she chose to stay positive and fight for the right to exist in Kenya, one of two countries she calls home but doesn’t actually give her the right to its citizenship. Foni is now a member of the UNHCR Global Youth Advisory Council advocating for the youth refugees.
