Join us this Sunday, January 1st at 4pm for the return of Many Roads to Here, a production of The Immigrant Story, capturing the immigrant experience in the U.S. through monthly profiles. Voices from across the globe offer intimate accounts of immigration, war, genocide, and success. Listen live at 99.1 FM in the heart of Portland – or online anywhere at PRP.fm.

Chanpone Sinlapasai was born in Laos during a bloody civil war, and narrowly escaped to the US with her family at just four years old. Her experiences growing up in the United States have now propelled her into a staunch advocate of immigrant rights in her community.

This episode was produced by Natalia Lopez. Audio editing was done by Gregg Palmer. Our executive producer is Sankar Raman.

This episode is made possible by a generous contribution by Oregon Cultural Trust.
